GoSearch.me

Posted: August 26, 2015

GoSearch.me is a dubious search engine that may suddenly appear in your web browser's configuration. This surprising change may be owed to a browser hijacker that may have been installed on your computer without your knowledge. The GoSearch.me browser hijacker is a little piece of software that serves one single purpose – to replace the web browser's default homepage and search engine with GoSearch.me. The purpose of this action is to generate traffic for the website, as well as to popularize it among as many people as possible. The technique used to achieve this is quite questionable since browser hijackers are classified as a low-level threat, and using them to popularize a website won't have a positive impact on that particular website's reputation.

The GoSearch.me website seems to be safe and plain, but we still don't recommend visiting this page on a daily basis, because there is little information about it. For what we know, the page may some day try to distribute malware, paid advertisements or harmful content. If you notice that your homepage or search engine have been changed to GoSearch.me, you need to consider scanning your computer for malware. A good anti-malware app should be able to resolve the issue and remove the GoSearch.me browser hijacker that may have tampered with your browser's configuration.
