Do you know what Arabyonline.com is?
If you have not chosen Arabyonline.com to be your home page and default search provider yourself, it must have been installed without permission. Search tools which take over the browsers illegally are known as browser hijackers, and they require immediate removal. Illegally running hijackers can install unreliable data-tracking cookies, communicate to unreliable servers, and introduce you to unreliable search results. Unfortunately, not all users decide to delete Arabyonline.com, even if it corrupts the web browsers without permission. Keep in mind that the search provider is not as harmless and beneficial as it may seem to be. Our report reveals how the application truly works.
