I wrote this article to help you remove Gamegogle.com. This Gamegogle.com removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Gamegogle.com has been categorized as a browser hijacker which is capable of modifying your web browsers without asking for your permission. Most often, the hijacker infects your PC when attached to software bundles which are promoted via unreliable third-party websites. Nevertheless, what you should know is that untrusted installers and software bundles are usually used for malware distribution, thus such programs should be removed from the system right away. Otherwise, you are very likely to experience security-related problems.

Gamegogle.com is a search engine which is identical to Jogostempo.com. Both of these are presented in Portuguese, and they display links to one and the same Brazilian online stores, news sites, and online games. The files which control the hijacker are labeled by Beijing Gaojiaoxintu Technology Co., so it is no wonder that the search engine might show some links which lead to Chinese websites.

Namely, the strange behavior of Gamegogle.com is a proof that this search engine is not reliable and should be erased from the system as soon as possible. Keep in mind that even if the engine promotes reliable websites, it does not mean that it is legitimate. In fact, this might be a trick which Gamegogle.com uses to convince you that the banner advertisements and links to unknown websites are trusted as well. Though that’s not true and you should ignore them all to avoid any potential threats on your computer.
