Remove Gogletab.com Redirect

Suddenly Gogletab.com took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.

Gogletab.com is a malicious domain, which spells trouble. As in, if you come across the site, you’re in trouble. Why? Because you have a browser hijacker on your computer. The page’s popping up is a clear indication there’s a hijacker, lurking somewhere on your PC. There are no ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ about it. The sooner you accept is as fact, the better. Your system is no longer infection-free. The best course of action you can take, after the realization strikes, is to act! Take the Gogletab.com site as a warning. Once it appears, do yourself a favor and don’t waste time. Acknowledge the existence of a cyber threat, and do your best to locate it ASAP. When you find its hiding spot, remove it! Do it right then and there. Because understand this. The longer the hijacker remains on your PC, the more opportunities it has to mess it up. Make no mistake. It WILL take each and every one you grant it. You can save yourself a ton of headaches and issues if you act on time. Before the situation gets out of control. Before you’re faced with the threat of getting flooded with malware. Before the possible consequential appearance of The Blue Screen of Death. Before finding your privacy in jeopardy. Don’t let your predicament escalate that far. Avoid the point of no return. Protect yourself and your system. Locate and delete the hijacker as soon as it displays Gogletab.com, thus, revealing itself. Your future self will thank you for it.

How did I get infected with?

Gogletab.com does not pop up unless there’s a hijacker, forcing it to do so. So, needless to say, there’s one somewhere on your PC. But how did it get there? After all, hijackers require your permission to install themselves. So, it’s safe to make another assumption, right? The tool asked for your approval, and you gave it. Otherwise, you wouldn’t face Gogletab.com each time you surf the web. And, odds are, you don’t even remember the exchange. You have no memory of the hijacker asking you anything. And, you certainly don’t remember granting it access, right? Well, wrong. It did. And, you did, as well. But don’t beat yourself up too hard. Hijackers are deceitful applications. They’re quite masterful when it comes to gaining entry. They ask for permission, but they do it covertly. After all, they’re required to seek it, but they don’t have to do it openly. So, they do it sneakily via trickery and finesse. More often than not, through the old but gold means of infiltration as they’ve proven their effectiveness over time. That includes hitching a ride with freeware or spam email attachments. Or, hiding behind corrupted sites or links. Or, posing as a bogus update. Did you spot the correlation? Each method relies on your carelessness. So, don’t grant it! Don’t be careless but extra cautious! Instead of giving into gullibility and haste, choose to do your due diligence. Attentiveness will take you further than the lack thereof. Be more careful, and you just might manage to keep your PC infection-free.

Why is this dangerous?

Gogletab.com is a malicious website, which claims to be a legitimate search engine. It’s hardly a subtle ‘tribute’. It’s rather an impersonation. That’s right. Gogletab.com poses as the Google search engine. And, it does it so convincingly that most users fall for it. Don’t be like most users. Don’t buy the lie. The hijacker even uses the Google logo. It pops up when you visit the page. And, if you’re not careful enough, you won’t notice that the page is, in fact, different. And, NOT Google! The logo just adds to the deception. Make it your business to be careful enough to spot the deceit, and not fall for the trap. Do NOT use the deceptive search engine! It only leads to negatives! You’ll be bombarded by issues and headaches. Like, frequent redirects to Gogletab.com and various other websites. Sites, which are just as unreliable. Also, brace yourself for a shower of pop-up advertisements. You’ll get interrupted by redirects and pop-ups each and every time you attempt to surf the web. But the hijacker won’t just bring you immense frustration. Oh, no. Apart from annoying, it’s also quite harmful. For one, the constant disruptions slow down your PC to a crawl. Furthermore, they lead to your system crashing all the time. Not to mention, the malware risk, which the ads place upon you. Oh, yes. They’re bundled with malicious tools, just waiting to pounce on your system. And, each time you press a pop-up, you unknowingly agree to install the malware, it’s concealing. A click, by choice or accident, leads to more unwanted infections. So, do NOT press a single ad! Or, better yet, find and delete the hijacker! That way, you won’t just protect your PC from these many dangers. You’ll also keep your private life away from strangers. Confused? Well, hijackers spy on you. They keep track of your browsing and catalog your every move. When they feel they have enough data, they send it to the third parties behind them. Strangers. These people then have access to your personal and financial details. And, once they get their hands on it, they can use it as they see fit. The question is, are you going to let them? Are you willing to let the situation get that far? Think long and hard. Your and your system’s well-being rest on your decision.
