AQURA Onyx is a potentially unwanted application (PUA) that serves no legitimate purpose and is often distributed alongside other dubious components. Security vendors have flagged it as malicious, raising concerns about its presence on users’ systems. Once installed, AQURA Onyx can engage in intrusive activities such as displaying persistent ads, redirecting users to suspicious websites, and collecting user data without consent. Such behavior not only disrupts the user experience but also poses significant privacy and security risks. Additionally, AQURA Onyx often comes bundled with browser hijackers that alter browser settings, promoting fake search engines and bombarding users with unwanted pop-ups. Given these risks, it is strongly recommended to remove AQURA Onyx and any associated applications promptly to safeguard your system and personal information. Users should also exercise caution when installing software from unverified sources to avoid inadvertently installing such unwanted applications.
