The suspicious Go.bonefreeze.com is not the first of its kind. Our research team is well aware of a few identical hijackers: Go.deepteep.com, Go.querymo.com, and Go.bonanzoro.com. The names are similar, but what is most striking is that their interfaces are identical too. Furthermore, it was found that they are all distributed along with third-party programs, such as PdfPro100. Also, they appear to be targeted at those who live in the United Kingdom. Whether you face the installer of the hijacker’s bundle by downloading suspicious files or by interacting with strange advertisements, you need to be very careful. Note that even if you believe that the programs you downloaded along with Go.bonefreeze.com are harmless, you should scan your operating system and browsers. Employ a trusted malware scanner to assure yourself that you do not need to remove malicious threats. Do not panic if threats are found because you should be able to delete them all. If you need help with that, we are here.

Whether Go.bonefreeze.com takes over the homepage, the search provider, or the New Tab – or all three – you need to understand what you are dealing with because, sooner or later, you are likely to interact with the hijacker. Did you know that it redirects to a third-party search engine? This is not good, considering that that is a sign of illegal activity. But the hijacker redirects to Yahoo Search, so what could really go wrong? Yes, the results are shown via a very popular search engine, but they are modified by the hijacker, which means that they cannot be trusted. If you interact with results carelessly, you might end up clicking on unreliable links! Furthermore, the hijacker uses cookies to monitor your activity. That means that it can gather information about you. Most likely, this information is used to select the ads that are injected in regular search results. Do not be mistaken: Attractive ads can be misleading too.

We have created a manual removal guide that should help you remove Go.bonefreeze.com yourself. Of course, we cannot promise you that you will succeed, but if you decide you want to delete them all by yourself, this is a guide that should help immensely. What are your other options? You could ask a more tech-savvy friend to clean your operating system, or you could install a legitimate anti-malware program now. Why haven’t you installed it yet? Maybe you are not sure which program to pick, or maybe you are hesitant to make an investment. Whatever the issue is, we can assure you that you and your operating system will become much safer the moment you employ anti-malware software. It can automatically delete Go.bonefreeze.com along with other threats, and if you are dealing with several of them, this is the best time to take the leap and finally protect your operating system.
