Onlinewebfind Virus Removal Guide

Onlinewebfind pop-ups may occur when your computer is infected with adware or potentially unwanted programs, for example malicious web browser extensions or PUPs. This browser hijacker, otherwise known as Onlinewebfind virus, comes bundled with annoying PUPs which have probably been downloaded onto your computer without your knowledge or say so. PUPs and browser hijackers are unwanted because you simply don't need them; they might be offering themselves as an alternative browser, toolbar or search engine. But when they get really annoying is when they use your machine as a portal for flooding you with online advertisements. It's basically an ad tracking site that is being used to redirect users to misleading or shady websites. They might also bombard you with annoying applications that drive you to the point of distraction.

Well crazy as it may seem to you and me but some people might actually like the fact that when they search in Google for their nearest pizza delivery company, their search results are redirected to another nameless search engine. However, please note that most of the results are misleading to say the least. You might be redirected to a fake Flash player update page or some nameless search page full with spammy and paid search results.

It's nothing new that such browser hijackers come bundled with adware and PUPs that offer you free stuff like emoticons. Whilst other people are not bothered by the trade off of being able to use free emoticons in exchange for constant exposure to adverts in their browser. And it's this ambiguous line between wanted and unwanted that makes it so much harder for your anti-virus software to detect a browser hijacker or a PUP and stop it in its tracks. When you get pop-up ads you can be sure for about one thing: your computer is infected. The good news is that onlinewebfind pop-ups are not 'real' malware. But they do appear for a reason and the it's more than obvious - certain adware or PUP is spying on your browsing activity.

As I said, onlinewebfind virus is usually bundled with freeware. It's very important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed and allow you to opt out of them. If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!
