Hello, I have noticed suspicious changes on my browser. My homepage was set to be Google search, and now it has changed to only-search.com page, and I am sure that I did not touch browser settings. Should I worry about it?

We are glad that you have decided to share your worries with us. In fact, you should not worry so much - only-search.com browser hijacker is not a malicious program, but it is described as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Here is an explanation what has happened to your computer:
This page has replaced the previously set homepage because of a 'browser hijacker' type software that was installed on your computer. Take note that such programs can be installed alongside other freeware; so if you have installed any free app recently, it could be that it promoted Only-search.com hijacker. We do not recommend using this search engine as it is known to be displaying sponsored links (which might lead you to high-risk websites); moreover, the Only-search.com app can noticeably slow down your computer system.
We recommend uninstalling this software as it can be hardly useful for you. To learn how to remove it from your system, please read this article that our support team has recently prepared: How to remove Only-search.com virus?
I have successfully fixed this issue using the removal instructions that you have provided.
Thank you very much.
