How to remove OneLaunch

What is OneLaunch

OneLaunch is a productivity software designed to enhance the Windows desktop experience by providing a customizable dock and dashboard. It integrates various features such as a Chromium-powered web browser, quick access to popular sites, bookmarks, daily weather updates, and a suite of productivity tools. The primary goal of OneLaunch is to streamline the user experience by consolidating multiple functionalities into a single, easily accessible interface. One of the primary concerns with OneLaunch is its ability to install without clear user consent. It can be found in the C:\Users\LoginID\AppData\Local\ directory and does not always require local admin rights for installation. This has led to instances where users discover OneLaunch on their systems unexpectedly, contributing to its reputation as potentially unwanted software (PUP). While OneLaunch is not classified as malware, it is often labeled as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) due to its intrusive behavior and the impact it can have on system performance and user privacy. Users have reported that OneLaunch can slow down their computers, which is a common issue with bloatware. Additionally, OneLaunch may change browser settings without user consent, such as altering the default search engine or homepage, which is often associated with adware and can compromise user privacy. The software may also display unwanted advertisements and recommend third-party applications, which can be intrusive and annoying for users.

How OneLaunch infected your computer

Despite its legitimate functionalities, OneLaunch has been a subject of controversy due to its distribution methods and the impact it can have on system performance and user privacy. OneLaunch is often distributed as part of software bundles, leading to inadvertent installations when users download other applications without carefully reading the installation prompts. In some cases, OneLaunch may be automatically downloaded and installed through links or advertisements without explicit user consent. Additionally, some users have reported finding OneLaunch pre-installed on their systems, raising concerns about its distribution practices.
