How great are the limits of your patience? Thanks to GoGameGo, you’re about to find out. This program is supposed to provide you with popular games online. However, it only provides you with potential parasites. Classified as a potentially unwanted adware-type program, GoGameGo is malicious. Yes, it’s a virus. GoGameGo relies on its harmless facade to trick you into keeping it on board. The problem is, adware becomes more harmful as time passes. You can already see how tricky this parasite is, can’t you? Apart from its rather original name, GoGameGo follows the classic adware pattern. It invades your machine via stealth and starts wreaking havoc almost immediately. Remember, you’re dealing with a problematic adware infection. There’s simply no plausible scenario in which you don’t end up in danger just by keeping the virus on board. Make no mistake. Get rid of this nuisance the minute you encounter its unwanted presence. To begin with, GoGameGo is to blame for a never-ending pile of pop-ups. Coupons, discounts, product deals, various commercials, best prices, price comparisons, etc. – this program generates all kinds of ads you could possibly think of. Once GoGameGo gets successfully installed, it goes after your browsers. Be prepared to witness random unauthorized modifications of your browser settings. This way the virus injects your browsers with its pop-ups so now you’re forced to see commercials on a daily basis. Obviously, this parasite doesn’t bother to search for your permission first. Now, why is GoGameGo so incredibly persistent to flood your PC screen with commercials? The answer to that question is about as simple as it’s aggravating. Money. Hackers’ money, to be exact. Thanks to the pay-per-click mechanism, GoGameGo allows crooks to gain easy, illegitimate profit online and that is where the ads come in handy. They are all sponsored. And a sponsored ad could be hiding many, many dangers. For example, you could be absolutely positive that among the web links displayed by GoGameGo, there are some corrupted ones. Clicking a corrupted web link is a very dangerous thing to do and you know it. Even if you don’t come across a malicious ad, you could still fall victim to some nasty financial scam. That is yet another unpleasant scenario, isn’t it? If you attempt to purchase some non-existent product, you will lose your money and receive nothing in exchange. Apart from potentially harmful advertisements, GoGameGo also generates questionable software updates and other suspicious third-party ads. To protect your machine from further damage, stay away from these web links. One more thing, did you know that GoGameGo jeopardizes your privacy as well? It does. The virus starts monitoring your browsing-related activities the minute it gets installed. As you could imagine, this poses the immense threat of identity theft and the only way to prevent it is by deleting the virus.

How did I get infected with?

It’s very likely that you can’t recall the exact moment GoGameGo landed on board. That comes as shocking news to nobody. Most infections prefer to travel the Web via lies and deceit. For example, freeware/shareware bundling offers all kinds of parasites an easy and effective infiltration method. Remember, unverified websites often offer dangerous bundles. There might be a bonus virus attached to the safe programs in the bundle. However, if you’re particularly unlucky, there might be a whole bunch of parasites there. Our advice is to avoid illegitimate pages and their illegitimate software. Remember that it’s always key for your safety to pay close attention to the installation process. Don’t skip any steps as you might also be skipping numerous opportunities to protect your PC. And protecting your PC should be your very first priority while surfing the Web. Other popular virus distribution techniques include spam email-attachments, spam messages from unknown senders, third-party advertisements, etc. The Web is infested with potential threats and it’s up to you whether your device will remain infection-free or you will end up with a seriously compromised computer.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The intrusive parade of GoGameGo pop-ups covers all websites you visit. That is because this program is compatible with three of the most commonly used browsers out there. GoGameGo’s malicious browser extension or add-on works with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Whatever page you attempt to visit, the commercials will be there waiting for you. These web links are not only annoying but very stubborn and difficult to remove as well. The only way to put an end to the excessive amount of pop-ups on your PC screen is by deleting GoGameGo. The parasite also causes your overwhelmed browsers to often crash/freeze, it makes the Internet connection unstable and constantly redirects you to unreliable, unknown websites.
