Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is onestream[.]best?
onestream[.]best is a dubious website, which is usually opened by installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). Therefore, most people do not visit onestream[.]best (or other similar pages) intentionally. More examples of similar sites include trynotify[.]com, lulachu[.]com and redlabellondon[.]com.
When visited, onestream[.]best loads dubious content or opens other untrustworthy web pages. Most PUAs also gather information and display ads.
onestream[.]best is designed to open about two or three untrustworthy websites or display dubious content. These actions depends on users' IP addresses. Web pages that are opened through onestream[.]best should not be trusted, since they might contain deceptive ads, be designed to promote unwanted, potentially malicious apps, and so on.
Note that onestream[.]best asks permission to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique - it encourages visitors to click the "Allow" button so that they can start watching a video. If clicked, however, this page receives permission to show notifications (various ads and other unwanted content).
Furthermore, apps that force browsers to open these web pages also gather record data including IP addresses, geolocations, entered search queries, addresses of visited websites, and other details of this kind. Some might be designed to record private, sensitive information.
In any case, the developers tend to share the details with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse them to generate revenue.
These PUAs can also be designed to display unwanted ads. Typically, they feed users with coupons, banners, surveys, pop-ups and other ads. People who click them are usually redirected to dubious web pages, and some of these ads might be designed to run scripts that download or install unwanted software.

Typically, PUAs are advertised as useful applications, however, few function as the developers advertise them. They are often designed simply to help the developers to generate revenue.
Having these apps installed might lead to problems with privacy and browsing safety, and it is possible that users could become victims of identity theft. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you uninstall all PUAs immediately.
How did adware install on my computer?
People often download and install apps of this type through the download and/or installation set-ups of other software. I.e., when they are included as additional offers. Options to download or install unwanted apps are usually hidden in settings such as "Custom", "Advanced", and so on.
Unfortunately, many people download and install software without checking these settings, thereby inadvertently agreeing with additional downloads and/or installations. Furthermore, PUAs can be downloaded/installed through deceptive ads - if clicked, many execute scripts designed to download and install unwanted software.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Download files and programs only from official websites and through direct download links. Do not trust or use Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule), unofficial pages, third party downloaders, installers or other similar sources/tools to download/install software.
Check each setting available in any download or installation setup and dismiss offers to download or install unwanted applications. Do not trust or click ads that are displayed on dubious web pages - they are often designed to redirect people to dubious websites, In some cases, they cause unwanted downloads and installations.
To stop your browser from displaying ads or opening unwanted web pages, remove all unwanted/suspicious extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins from the browser, and programs of this kind from the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
