OnShopBase Scam

The OnShopBase scam hijacks a computer user's Web browser and uses one of the countless misleading tactics that target users of the most popular Web browser such as Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. The main goal of the OnShopBase scam is to display numerous, intrusive advertisements that, when clicked, will redirect the user's browser to websites that may not be secure.

The OnShopBase scam modifies the Web browser settings so that it can execute the tasks it was programmed to do. The advertisements, pop-ups and other marketing promotions displayed by the OnShopBase scam will be annoying and also will interfere with the computer users' browsing experience.

Another negative feature of browser hijackers such as the OnShopBase is that they can use the computer's resources and make the machine slower and irresponsive, besides collecting data such as IP address, geolocation, visited sites (to create advertisements that will draw the users' attention) and more.

If you are experiencing the OnShopBase advertisements and redirects and is not happy with them, you can stop them easily. Use an anti-malware program to remove the OnShopBase from your machine and change your browser settings to their default mode.
