Oneindian.net

Oneindian.net is a suspicious search engine that is often classified as a browser hijacker. One could say that it is a legitimate search engine, but the problem is that there is no additional information provided on the website. Usually there should be an About Us section, Privacy Policy or at least a Contact Us button, but there is nothing of the kind when it comes to Oneindian.net. Therefore, one can hardly trust this website, and if your home page is suddenly changed to Oneindian.net, then you should definitely scan your PC with a reliable antimalware scanner, because there is a high chance you have a ton of potentially unwanted programs installed.

One of the main reasons why one cannot trust Oneindian.net is that this “search engine” has no service. That is to say, if you were to perform a search on Oneindian.net, you would be immediately redirected to the Indian Google page at google.co.in. So what is the use of a mediator that cannot even provide you with a decent service? Not to mention that some security researches claim Oneindian.net hijacks web browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome), modifying the default home page and search engine to Oneindian.net, and then it even blocks further modification of your browser settings. That is to say – Oneindian.net wants to remain on your browser.

If you are wondering how Oneindian.net has entered your computer, the answer is rather simple. Such potentially unwanted application, as well as other freeware, usually hides behind third party commercial pop-ups or come bundled with freeware. By freeware, we mean potentially useless applications users often download from file hosting pages. It is always better to download software from official websites, because third party file hosting pages are always full of installer files that are bundled with additional freeware (such as Oneindian.net), and that additional freeware can seriously impede your system security.

In order to protect your computer from potential threats, you need to make sure that Oneindian.net is removed from your PC for good. You have to keep in mind that leaving your web browser as it is might result in a personal data leak, because Oneindian.net is known to collect information on your web browsing activities via tracking cookies. Needless to say, that if such information falls into the hands of cyber criminals, sooner or later you would end up being infected with dangerous malware threats.

Check out the instructions below on how to restore your browser settings to default. Afterwards you should scan your PC with SpyHunter free scanner to find out what other programs should be removed from your computer in order to ensure that your system is fully protected from harm. Acquire a powerful antimalware program if necessary to safeguard your PC from various threats.
