The appearance of the page is a clear sign there is a cyber threat on your PC. A browser hijacker managed to sneak past you, and the site’s display is its way of cluing you into its presence. Think of it as a sign. It’s announcing the existence of an infection. There are no ‘ifs,’ ‘buts,’ or ‘maybes.’ It’s a fact. There is a browser hijacker on your PC. And, the website conceals it.

How did I get infected with?

Startgo123.com cannot appear unless there is a hijacker in your system. And, a hijacker cannot enter your PC without your approval. Ergo, you allowed the infection to settle into your computer. But don’t be too hard on yourself. These cyber threats are quite deceptive. They resort to every trick in the book to fool you into permitting their install. What’s more, they manage to keep you clueless to their existence. How? Well, via the old but gold methods of infiltration. They use slyness and subtlety to slither in. Hijackers usually pretend to be fake updates. For example, while you think you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, you’ll be wrong. In reality, you’ll be installing a dangerous infection. That is if you’re not careful enough to spot it. Remember that such applications rely on your distraction to sneak in undetected. Without it, their concealed invasion is much more difficult. So, if you wish to prevent such cyber infections from invading your PC, be more careful! Be vigilant and thorough, and always do your due diligence. Don’t rush, and don’t give into gullibility. Sometimes even a little extra attention can save you a ton of problems. Don’t forget it.

Why is this dangerous?

If a hijacker invades your PC, you’re in trouble. The first sign of its presence will be the unexpected appearance of a site. An unfamiliar one. You have not seen it before, but all of a sudden, you begin to see it quite often! In your particular case, Startgo123.com is that website. It will take over your screen. The page will pop up every time you surf the web. It will replace your default search engine and homepage. And, the switch will occur without your knowledge or permission. How come? Well, hijackers can implement any changes they wish. And, they can do it without bothering to seek your approval first. Each reshuffle will come as a surprise! And, imagine your dismay when you turn on your PC and find it flooded with malware. Oh, yes. That CAN happen! It IS  possibility. Granted, it is a rather minuscule one, but that does not equal ‘non-existent.’ So, as minor as the odds of that occurring may be, ask yourself: Are you prepared to take them? Do you believe it’s worth it? Don’t fool yourself! Your immediate answer should be ‘No!’ Don’t take chances when it comes to hijackers! Issues and unpleasantries follow Startgo123.com. Each worse than the one before it. There aren’t enough ways to stress it: Don’t risk it! Once the page pops up, take action! Find the hijacker’s hiding place, and remove it when you do. We’ll say it again: the sooner it’s gone, the better! By getting rid of it as soon as possible, you’ll avoid all these issues. And, not just them. There’s still the worst problem, which accompanies such a threat. The security issue. Hijackers spy on you. They steal data from you. Once they settle on your PC, they begin to track your browsing habits. They catalog your every move! When they deem they have gathered enough data, they send it to the third parties that published it. After they have it, they can use it as they see fit. Are you prepared to trust strangers with your private life? These are unknown individuals with agendas. Think long and hard before you answer. Both your and your system’s future rely on your reply.
