Remove Only Search virus (Only-Search.com) from Safari/Chrome/Firefox on Mac OS X

These are samples of intrusive code which affect one’s web browsing by inserting advertisements in websites or redirecting the user’s traffic. Only Search exemplifies the latter group of adware. It substitutes browser preferences in order to make the victim go to its landing page, only-search.com, off and on. The present post includes technical details about the threat and provides a repair method to restore the normal Internet surfing.
