Remove Go.padsdel.com Redirect

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

Go.padsdel.com is a nasty redirect virus. It shouldn’t come as shocking news that it redirects you. And it will keep on redirecting you till the very moment you uninstall the parasite. Why would you keep a parasite on board in the first place? Keep in mind that Go.padsdel.com will only become more problematic, more irritating, more aggressive and more dangerous as time passes. Instead of ignoring the problem, you have to solve it ASAP. This program promises to enhance your browsing experience but, as you could imagine, it enhances nothing. Quite the opposite. Keeping the redirect virus on board jeopardizes both your safety and privacy, leads to a poor PC performance and effectively disturbs you on a daily basis. This pest exhibits quite a long list of malicious traits so don’t mistake it for a legitimate search engine. To begin with, Go.padsdel.com got installed behind your back. Of course, you might have downloaded it voluntarily because you believed in this program’s non-existent functionality. However, being a typical infection, this thing usually travels the Web in silence. It starts wreaking havoc immediately. Once your computer gets infected, Go.padsdel.com adds a pesky browser extension to all your browsers. From this moment on, you will be constantly redirected to unknown, unsafe, unreliable websites only. Why? Because hackers aim at generating web traffic towards these specific websites. Thanks to the pay-per-click mechanism and some other equally tricky monetizing techniques online, hackers successfully gain profit when redirecting you. Do you see the scheme already? Go.padsdel.com bombards you with questionable web links disguised as accurate search results. Every time you click them open, hackers make money. In addition, keep in mind that some of the links generated by this program are extremely harmful. You’re practically exposing your machine to malware while generating views for greedy cyber criminals. Is that really what you want to achieve online? If not, get rid of the parasite. Go.padsdel.com serves as a back door to more infections, slows down your PC speed significantly and spies on your browsing-related activities. It might also display some unreliable software updates or third-party ads which should be avoided. Remember, all your browsers are now infected. You can’t afford to trust any web link you come across, because, chances are, it’s simply not safe. This sneaky infection takes control over your entire Internet experience just so hackers could gain revenue. You do not have to become their sponsor, though. In order to prevent further damage, make sure you uninstall Go.padsdel.com ASAP.

How did I get infected with?

You probably clicked something that you should have ignored. For example, many infections travel the Web bundled with safe programs. This allows hackers to both infect your PC and leave you completely oblivious to the installation itself. It’s quite obvious that you need to be extra careful every time you give green light to software, especially if it comes for free. Freeware and shareware bundles offer crooks an extremely efficient, stealthy and unfair virus distribution method. That is why it’s very important to avoid unverified websites. More often than not, illegitimate software bundles include at least one parasite as a bonus. This is a bonus you most certainly do not want to have on your PC system. Therefore, opt for the Custom/Advanced option in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic option. Remember, you have to be aware which program gets installed and which one gets deselected. Otherwise, you might end up accidentally installing malware. Also, reading the EULA (End User License Agreement) could prevent virus infiltration so next time you install software, take your time. Rushing cannot protect your machine from cyber threats which should always be your number one priority online. Don’t download programs that you don’t trust and keep an eye out for malware.

Why is this dangerous?

Keep in mind that you’re dealing with a parasite here. Go.padsdel.com is now on board to bring upon you tons of problems, dangers and annoyances, not to serve as a reliable search engine. You will notice that your browser settings have been modified completely without your authorization or permission. Go.padsdel.com might replace your default search engine, your default browser homepage or even install additional toolbars (again, behind your back). As mentioned already, this pest installs a malicious browser extension or an add-on which works just fine with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. This way hackers make sure they take control over your entire browsing experience in no time. Once the virus has modified your browser settings, it begins to redirect you. By boosting web traffic towards some particular pages, the infection leads you straight to malware. Stay away from this program’s questionable domain because it could easily cause you harm. Go.padsdel.com also jeopardizes your privacy by collecting passwords, usernames, email addresses, browsing history, etc. Hackers will not think twice before they sell your private data to third parties with unclear intentions. That means Go.padsdel.com should be eliminated as soon as possible. To delete this nasty parasite manually, please follow the detailed removal guide that you will find down below.
