Suddenly Go-Search.ru took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
Go-Search.ru is a browser hijacker. It’s quite the malicious and intrusive infection, not to mention, harmful. If you don’t take action towards the removal of this hazardous tool as soon as you first become of its presence on your computer, you’ll regret it! By permitting it to stay, you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time. So, do yourself a favor, and get rid of it the very first chance you get. Don’t delay deleting it and you’ll save yourself a ton of issues. You first realize there’s something different with your system when you turn on your PC and find your default homepage and search engine replaced with Go-Search.ru. You’ll find this switch quite surprising, considering that you were neither aware of it, nor did you approve it. You better get used to that feeling of dismay as you’ll experience it quite often. This little switch will be only the first in a long, long line of unapproved changes. Confused? Well, it’s pretty simple. Once the hijacker tricks you into approving its installation and invades your PC, it’s no longer bound to seek your permission for anything else. It can do everything it feels like, implement all the changes it wishes to, and you’ll just have to accept it. That’s a pretty scary notion, don’t you think? The sky is the limit as the possibilities of harm are endless. Protect yourself and your system, and delete the hijacker as soon as you realize it has slithered into your PC. Go-Search.ru is NOT worth even half the hassle it put you through.
How did I get infected with?
Go-Search.ru is quite masterful when it comes to gaining access to your system. Yes, the hijacker may be bound to ask for your permission before installation, but that doesn’t slow it down one bit. In fact, the tool not only gets your approval but also manages to keep you in the dark about its existence until it decides otherwise. That’s right. You’re utterly clueless to the fact that you were duped into giving the green light to a dangerous and damaging hijacker. Well, until the changes start rolling in and give it away. But until then, you’re oblivious. If you’re wondering how the tool manages to do that, the answer is – easy. By resorting to slyness and subtlety, Go-Search.ru manages to sneak in undetected. More often than not, it pretends to be a bogus system or program update. So, while you’re convinced you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, in actuality, you’re permitting the installation of a hazardous hijacker. To prevent the intrusive tool from infiltrating your system, just be more cautious and don’t rush. Don’t give into your naivety, haste, and distraction as they’re your enemies, not your friends. Also, you need to be on the lookout when dealing with freeware as Go-Search.ru often hitches a ride in by using it as a shield to hide behind. It can also invade your PC with the help of corrupted links or sites, or spam email attachments.
Why is this dangerous?
Go-Search.ru’s most dangerous trait is its ability to implement any and all changes it so wishes to apply. That’s an issue you mustn’t overlook as it’s hazardous and can cause you quite the abundance of problems. The hijacker threatens not only your system’s well-being but also your privacy. Just imagine. If it feels like it, it can choose to install as many malevolent tools as it desires. How much malware do you think your computer will be able to take before The Blue Screen of Death? At the very least, the hijacker can decide to reshuffle your system settings in a manner that will prevent you from accessing your favorites websites. Imagine the frustration of not being able to check your email or go to your Facebook page. And, that’s not all as the issues continue still. The hijacker also floods you with pop-up ads incessantly. That’s right. It displays adware’s most infuriating characteristic. The waterfall of pop-ups won’t stop unless you get rid of the tool altogether. If you don’t, brace yourself for frequent system crashes and a slower computer performance. What’s more, you’ll also be faced with a grave security risk. As soon as the hijacker settles into your computer, it starts spying on you. It attempts to steal as much information from you as possible, and then sends the gathered data to the third parties that support it. That means unknown individuals with questionable intentions will have access to your personal and financial details. Are you ready to grant strangers with such power over you and your private life? Think of how much harm they can cause you, and with that thought in mind, it should become evident that Go-Search.ru is NOT worth holding onto. Delete the hijacker as soon as you can. It’ll be for the best, and your future self will be thankful for it.
