Oniria Removal Guide

Oniria might be the reason why you see sponsored content in your Google search results that were not there before. Our specialists say that this browser extension might be able to modify Google search results to place advertisements that the search engine would not include otherwise. If you want to learn more about what kind of content this add-on might incorporate into your search results as well as more about its practical manner, we encourage you to read the rest of this report. Also, we have prepared deletion instructions located below the text that show how to remove Oniria manually. Users should be able to remove the extension with a reliable antimalware tool too. Thus, do not hesitate to employ a security tool if you do not want to deal with this potentially unwanted program manually.

Oniria is spread through a website called valid-install.com/oniria.html. Also, Google Chrome might find it while searching the Chrome Web Store page. Besides these two websites, the application’s creators could also use other channels to distribute the add-on. For example, the same as many other potentially unwanted programs, the extension could be bundled with installers promoted on P2P file-sharing websites, pop-ups or other advertisements, and so on. Consequently, it is advisable to keep away from unreliable websites and ads if you wish to stay away from applications that fall into the potentially unwanted programs, adware, or browser hijackers categories. Additionally, we recommend installing a reliable antimalware tool that could warn you about such software and keep your computer malware-free.

At the moment of writing, Oniria seems to be working only with Google Chrome browsers. Unlike similar potentially unwanted programs that usually replace a user’s default search engine, homepage, or new tab page, this extension might alter his search engine to inject it with sponsored material. In other words, while the add-on is on your system, you might see additional content among your search results that could be various advertisements from Oniria’s third-party partners. According to the extension’s Privacy Policy document, the application may collect your IP address, your search keywords, and some other data related to your browsing that could be shared with advertising networks and the tool’s vendors or business partners. Such information could be used to inject targeted ads into your search results. As you see, the Privacy Policy also says that gathered data could be used to: “Help advertisers and publishers connect to offer relevant advertising in their apps and websites.”

Naturally, if you do not want more advertisements in your search results and you do not want a potentially unwanted program to be able to gather data while you browse the Internet, you might want to erase Oniria. One of the ways to get rid of it is to remove it from your browser’s extensions menu. If you have no idea how to do this, you should use the instructions located below this article. The other way to eliminate Oniria is to get a reliable antimalware tool, perform a full scan of your system with it, and then press its displayed deletion button to remove all identified issues at the same time.
