Is google.com set as your homepage? If it is, go ahead and check if Gogletab.com has not corrupted your web browser!

Due to this, it is not surprising that some users are not quick to realize that they are interacting with a hijacker. Obviously, if you have discovered a hijacker, you need to remove it as soon as possible. It does not matter that it looks harmless or that it redirects to a familiar page. What matters is that it can hijack your browsers and that it is not reliable. If you want to learn more about this before you delete Gogletab.com from your browsers, you should continue reading.

Have you used Gogletab.com already? If you have, you must know that it redirects to google.com. As stated previously, this search engine is completely reliable. However, you must keep in mind that the hijacker might inject sponsored links. That is not the responsibility of Google. In fact, it is the hijacker that can lead to this. The creator of this infection is likely to earn money via advertising, and the search results page is one of the platforms that can be used to show ads. Besides that, this infection could record your browsing history and other virtual activity-related information. In some cases, this information is sold to third-party advertisers to help them create personalized offers. Whether or not this information will be recorded and sold by Gogletab.com is unknown because official information does not support this hijacker. Is this suspicious? It really is because that makes it difficult to research this search tool altogether. Plus, there is a possibility that someone is trying to hide something from you.

As our researchers have found out, Gogletab.com was created by the same developer who stands behind Qvod.com, 123rede, and Gamegogle.com hijackers. Although these “search providers” are very different, they have one thing in common, and that is distribution. According to our analysis, it is most likely that these hijackers will be introduced to targeted users via software bundles packaged along with other infections. These bundles might even be introduced via pop-ups. Of course, if they appear, you have to scan your PC immediately to check for potentially active adware. You can click the download button below to acquire a free scanner that will help you identify adware if it exists. This tool is also useful in case other threats were carried by the same bundle as Gogletab.com itself. Do not ignore the malicious threats active on your PC because they might be more damaging than you can imagine.

We propose removing Gogletab.com by replacing your homepage. Whether you use Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer, you will find the right steps in the instructions below. Once you replace the unwanted homepage URL, you should scan your PC again just to check for leftovers. Of course, if they exist, you need to delete them immediately.
