Threat Summary: Nameīrowser Hijacker, Redirect, Search Hijacker, Toolbar, Unwanted New Tab If you encounter redirects to go., uninstall all suspicious programs/browser add-ons (helper objects) and never visit this site again. Therefore, data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. The collected information may be personally identifiable and shared by developers with cooperating third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who generate revenue by misusing private information. Therefore, reverting changes performed by set-ups becomes impossible.įurthermore, helper objects and go. track web browsing activity by collecting URLs visited, search queries, pages viewed, IP addresses, geo-locations, and other similar data. Set-ups stealthily install a number of "helper objects" (third party programs/browser extensions) to automatically reassign options when attempts are made to change them. These unwanted redirects significantly diminish the Internet browsing experience and users are unable to return browsers to their previous states. Therefore, when users attempt to search the net via the URL bar or simply open a browser/new browser tab, they are automatically redirected to go. Set-ups append the targets of browser shortcuts with this same URL. Set-ups infiltrate Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, assigning the new tab URL/default search engine/homepage options to go. Some users believe that go. is legitimate and useful, however, this site continually monitors web browsing activity.įurthermore, developers promote it by employing deceptive software download/installation set-ups designed to modify browser options without permission. Go. (or inline.go.) is a deceptive website claiming to be a legitimate Internet search engine that generates improved search results.
