The Onlinescan.site pop-up windows in your browser may seem credible by featuring logos from leading cyber security authorities, but they are generated by adware on your computer. Also, the Onlinescan.site domain is detected as malicious by several web filters that block access to it. However, the Onlinescan.site domain is being accessed from infected computers predominantly. If you are presented with pop-up windows by Onlinescan.site, you should abstain from downloading and installing software being promoted on Onlinescan.site. The Onlinescan.site pop-ups may suggest that your system is compromised, and you need to call supposedly legitimate technical support agents that can help you clean your PC. Needless to say, users that call numbers listed on the Onlinescan.site pop-ups may contact scammers that aim to mislead users and ask for money in exchange for helping you remove inexistent threats. As stated above, Onlinescan.site may attach an adware-powered browser plug-in to your Internet browser and show pop-ups. Adware plug-ins are incorporated in most freeware bundles that you can download from the Internet and users fail to notice them because they prefer to use the "Express' or 'Typical' option. Security experts note that adware does not use secure communications and third parties could alter data received by your computer. The adware linked to Onlinescan.site may have placed its files in the hidden Temp folder under the Windows directory to evade detection, and you may require the help of a reliable anti-spyware tool to eliminate it.
