The 1PrivacyProtection application by Onekit Internet is promoted as a suite of privacy protection tools for active Internet users. The 1PrivacyProtection suite can be found on 1privacyprotection.com, and its trial version may travel in free software packages. The 1PrivacyProtection may allow users to cleanup chat logs, cache, passwords and temporary Internet files from Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and IM clients like Skype, Aim, ICQ and Trillian. However, the 1PrivacyProtection suite is supported by advertisers and may not delete session cookies that are used to provide tailor-suited ads in your Internet browser. The trial version of the 1PrivacyProtection application might show banners and pop-up windows in your Internet browser and allow you to delete your browser history and cache files only. You could purchase the full version of 1PrivacyProtection for $19,95.

Security experts perceive the 1PrivacyProtection suite as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may be accompanied by badware like EmailDefend and NewTabTV Plus. Additionally, the developers of 1PrivacyProtection are behind the Internet Quick Access adware and the Eazel browser hijacker. The 1PrivacyProtection application may change your default search engine to Search.coolersearch.com and your DNS settings to reroute your Internet traffic. The 1PrivacyProtection application may run in your system background and slow down your computer, which may cause a poor gaming experience and Web page rendering. You might want to avoid installing the 1PrivacyProtection suite and use a trusted anti-malware shield to upgrade your cyber defenses and benefit from the expertise of security experts.
