Goodasfound.com Removal Guide

If your default homepage is modified without your permission, it is clear that you have been infected by a potential computer security threat. For example, if suddenly Goodasfound.com becomes your homepage, then your system has been infected by a browser hijacker. Browser hijackers are malicious programs that are created to generate profit by redirecting users to third-party websites. This infection must have entered your computer in a software bundle, and thus you need to remove more than just one potential threat. You can get rid of Goodasfound.com by resetting your browser settings to default, but you need to keep in mind that you must ensure your system is protected against similar infections in the future.

One of the reasons users are often confused about Goodasfound.com is that this browser hijacker looks very much like a decent search engine. It will try to convince you that it can help you find the most relevant search results. Technically, Goodasfound.com CAN help you search the web, but the problem is that he search results provided by this program are not reliable. It is more than likely that the search results that you find via this browser hijacker will be embedded with outgoing links that lead to online marketing and other commercial websites. There is nothing malicious about that, but the program certainly cannot guarantee the third-party content and third-party websites are perfectly safe.

In that aspect, Goodasfound.com is very much like reeturn.com, expressfind.com, resultforquery.com, and other search engines that have fallen out of our grace. This shows that the browser hijacker is one of the many infections that have been developed to trick you into thinking they are useful computer tools. However, if Goodasfound.com were really a good application, it would not be hiding in software packages. Yet, right now, in order to enter your computer, the program needs to rely on a third-party installer that you download from a file-sharing website. More often than not, users are not aware of the fact that the programs they download from file hosting websites contain more applications, most of which, could be potentially malicious.

This means that you install Goodasfound.com on your computer yourself even if you do not notice it. The good thing is that this browser hijacker does not even try to remain hidden. It will change the default homepage and search engine on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer the moment it sets foot on your system (figuratively speaking).

Goodasfound.com will promote associated third-party content, trying to push you into clicking the outgoing links. By clicking the links you increase the traffic on a third-party website and generate financial profit via the pay-per-click system. Naturally, the only ones who get paid for this are the creators of this infection. You do not get anything in return, and you even risk getting infected with malware.

To avoid that, you must remove Goodasfound.com immediately. If you think that there might be more unwanted applications that expose you to potential threats, scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner. You need to locate and terminate all the dangerous files and programs that might eventually cause a severe computer security problem.
