What is My Online Calendar?
My Online Calendar is a browser hijacker that will set a new search tool Search.myonlinecalendar.co on all your browsers, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. It is called a browser hijacker not without reason – it usually applies changes to users’ web browsers without permission. Most likely, you will find the new search tool set on your browsers as your new homepage, but, theoretically, it might change your default search tool too. We cannot confirm that Search.myonlinecalendar.co is a reputable search provider, so if you already see it when you open your web browser, you should go to remove it as soon as possible. When this search tool is no longer set on your browsers, you could start using a new reputable search provider. If you still cannot decide what to do with this search tool, read the rest of this article. In case you decide to get rid of the My Online Calendar browser hijacker, you will find information the last paragraph contains useful too.
What does My Online Calendar do?
Specialists at anti-spyware-101.com have evidence that My Online Calendar is a typical browser hijacker. In other words, it hijacks users’ web browsers and sets a new search tool Search.myonlinecalendar.co on them. Search tools promoted by browser hijackers are never trustworthy, so you should not trust the search provider set by the My Online Calendar browser hijacker either. Specialists say that it cannot be called a reputable search engine due to modified search results it presents users with. It is not a very good idea to click on these search results because they promote third-party pages that might be untrustworthy. You might be taken straight to them and experience security-related problems. Not all websites whose links you will find on the search results page opened by Search.myonlinecalendar.co are bad, but the chances are high that you will be taken to an untrustworthy page one day if you do not stop using it as your default search tool soon.
What else our researchers do not like about Search.myonlinecalendar.co is that it might record personally-identifiable details. It is an ordinary page, so it cannot access your credit card details, passwords, or other sensitive information, but it will definitely record all personal details you provide, i.e., type in its search box. Of course, these are not the only details it will collect. If you open its Privacy Policy document, you will immediately notice a bunch of non-personally identifiable details it records listed there. The majority of these details are technical details, e.g., the type of browser, IP address, Internet Service Provider, and others. You cannot set it to record only certain details, but there is a way to put an end to this entire activity – it will no longer collect any details about you if you fully remove it from your browsers.
Where does Search.myonlinecalendar.co come from?
We are sure the My Online Calendar browser hijacker has entered your computer and applied changes to your browsers illegally. It is very likely that it has arrived on your computer in a software bundle together with third-party software. It is usually presented as an additional offer, but users do not notice this and install it together with other applications. If you are not a very experienced user and do not think that you could prevent other untrustworthy applications from entering your system alone, you should install a reputable security tool on your computer. If you keep it active 24/7 and it gets updates periodically, it will easily prevent all kinds of dangerous infections from slithering onto your computer for you.
How to remove My Online Calendar
If the My Online Calendar browser hijacker has already altered settings of your browsers by setting the promoted search tool Search.myonlinecalendar.co, you should go to reset your browsers right away because it is the easiest way to undo the changes applied without special software. The same can be done quicker automatically too, but you will first need to acquire a trustworthy malware remover. There is a bunch of different tools on the market, but not all of them are trustworthy, so make sure the tool you are going to use for the My Online Calendar removal is fully reliable and only then install it on your computer.
