What is OneLaunch? Is It Safe?

If you’re wondering what OneLaunch is, you’ve come to the right place. The application is a third-party software that you can download on Windows computers. Essentially, it streamlines your experience.

We’ve taken a closer look at the application, and provided some other details you might like to know. Read ahead.

What is OneLaunch?

OneLaunch is a software that streamlines your experience by adding new features to your computer. Many users have removed it as there have been rumors of it being malicious. But this is not exactly true (we’ve discussed more on this in the section below).

Is OneLaunch Bad?

When you download OneLaunch, it adds a custom browser to your PC. The browser’s landing page is the Yahoo website. Although this doesn’t sound too bad, there are many advertised links on it, which violates promotional practices.

Just keep in mind that you can change the browser’s settings so that you don’t land on the Yahoo page. Visit the OneLaunch website for instructions.

We have to talk about the software’s data-collection policy. Your data will be collected, however, the OneLaunch team says that this is only for lawful purposes. In this day and age of data breaches, this means that a hacker could easily hack OneLaunch and access your private information too.

Also, there is a chance that you didn’t install OneLaunch in the first place – it may have just ended up on your computer. You might have been the victim of file-bundling.  A software that you were installing might have been paired with it, so it may have also been downloaded on your PC.

How do I use OneLaunch?

Using the application is a piece of cake. All you do is:

• Launch the program
• Click the Add Apps button
• Find and click one or more of the available apps, then add them to your dock
• Hit the back button
• Click an app icon on the dock

As discussed, OneLaunch has some quirks that aren’t that great. However, is it malicious? The answer is that it depends. The software is usually bundled with others (the file-bundling mentioned earlier). You might accidentally install something malicious along with it.
