On2GoApp is an application that you should remove once you have noticed its presence. This good-for-nothing application serves the interests of its developers rather well, since its main objective is to generate revenue for them. The application does that by displaying very obnoxious advertisements. We do not recommend trusting the ads, because they are apt to be supplied by advertisers of questionable reputation. We suspect that some of the ads might contain links to sites hosting potentially unwanted software, adware, browser hijackers, and so on. So we think it is in your best interest to uninstall this application as soon as the opportunity arises.
Before we get into the most important part of this article, it would be useful to know where this application comes from. On2GoApp is a product of the notorious JustPlug It Ltd. This company has been quite active during the last few months as we have discovered several other applications that have been based on its platform that include the following: DigitalCleaner, SteamX, Coupcoup, and GetIt4Cheaper. Of course, the company has created a lot more applications that are similar to each other.
As usual, the advertisers use software bundling as a means of getting On2GoApp on as many computers as possible. Since pirated software distributing websites generate a lot of web traffic it seems like the perfect place to distribute adware. So it is no surprise that this application can be found on such websites. Most users get this application unintentionally, by clicking fake download buttons. It must be mentioned, however, that this application is always bundled with other malicious applications, such as adware and browser hijackers.
Now let us get to the most important part. On2GoApp is set to display commercial third-party advertisements, and they are mostly presented as pop-ups, coupons, and banners. However, this is subject to change, since the application is highly customizable, and can easily be adapted to meet the client’s specific needs. The reason why you should delete this application is very simple: the ads are unreliable and can easily be set to promote other mildly malicious programs that are just plain irritating. It is also true that this application will cause you a lot of frustration while you are browsing through your favorite websites. Therefore, we encourage everyone who has got this application to remove it as quick as possible.
No one can deny the fact that On2GoApp is a useless program. It does not offer anything that could benefit your browsing experience. The application is just plain annoying and promotes unreliable content, so why keep it? We hope that this article has shed light on this seemingly irrelevant application that could remain unnoticed for years. The removal of On2GoApp is not difficult at all. All you have to do is uninstall the program from Windows via the Control Panel and remove the extension from the browser. Lastly you should scan your computer with a dedicated antimalware scanner to ensure that your PC is adware-free. This last step is not necessary, but we recommend doing it.
