Hijackers are known for flooding your browsers with ads. Go Redirectro Hosted Search does the same. It serves its developers` purpose. They use it to boost web traffic to particular pages and gain money via the pay-per-click marketing system. This is why you are buried with commercials. The more ads you see, the bigger the chance to click gets. However, this ruins your online activities. The adverts grow in numbers with each day. Every page you open is completely covered with pop-ups which you cannot close. They blink before your eyes, blocking page content and there is nothing you can do.
Aside from the ads, the pest also redirects you to tons of shady pages. It also replaces your previous homepage and search engine completely behind your back. This is why it is called a browser hijacker. It takes complete control over your browsers and your opinion is no longer relevant. What is worse, your online activities are ruined. You cannot find what you are looking for. What you can easily find, though, is malware. Nothing the pest throws at you can be trusted. Most of the ads you see are without a doubt corrupted and if you click you will download more parasites on your already compromised PC. Speaking of your machine, it also suffers.
Due to the hijacker`s shenanigans, your computer underperforms. It lags all the time, it crashes all of a sudden. Some of your programs may take ages to run and even your Internet connection may become unstable. All of this because of the hijacker. Why put up with that? This pest brings you nothing but problems. It was never meant to be beneficial to you. It was only created so the crooks could gain pay-per-click revenue at your expense. Don’t let them. Do what you have to and delete the hijacker from your computer. Once you do, everything will get back to normal. No ads, no redirects, no poor PC performance, do daily malware risk. Don’t hesitate and clean your machine. To do so manually, use our removal guide. You will find it at the end of this article. Follow the steps in the exact order and soon enough your computer will be infection-free.
How to protect yourself from future infections? The thing is that Go Redirectro Hosted Search entered because you allowed it to. Not intentionally, but due to negligence. The hijacker cannot get in without your consent. That’s why it asks for approval but in the sneakiest way possible, hoping that you will be too distracted to notice. Obviously, it was right. One of the most commonly used infiltration tactics is freeware bundling.
Be extra cautious when installing bundles. Do not rush to agree and finish the installation. Not before you check the bundle of “bonus” programs. To do that, opt for the Custom settings in the Setup Wizard. You will be able to see all additional apps which are about to be installed and deselect them. Such programs are usually infections. Remove them and then you can still install the app you originally wanted.
