How did I get infected with?

You might see for yourself that there is no information provided about the functionality of Goinggo apart from what we mentioned in the previous paragraph. You can do that at goinggo.info, which is the application’s homepage. The first thing you will notice when you access the website is a big green download button that says “Start Now”. If you click it, you will be redirected to a page with instructions and you will soon realize that it is impossible to download the application. This is a typical feature of all Super Web applications, and none of them is distributed in an official manner. Hence, if you are seeing ads by Goinggo, the application has entered your PC bundled with freeware. We are referring to free applications promoted at suspicious file sharing websites. They arrive on the system packed with additional programs, so when you install them you acquire a few unwanted applications as well.

Why are these ads dangerous?

It is quite obvious that Goinggo ads are extremely annoying because of the way they are presented to users. Nevertheless, what is not that obvious is the dangers they pose to your virtual security. Each ad by Goinggo contains a link to a particular third-party website, so when you click it you will be sent to that website. This may not sound dangerous to you, but it is because the third parties the web pages belong to are anonymous. The developers of Goinggo do not bother to check who takes advantage of their application, so you cannot rely on them to make sure that the content you will be exposed to is safe. If you interact with Goinggo ads, you might be sent to websites spreading malware and your system might get severely damaged. This is the main reason why you should be very careful not to click any ads by Goinggo.
