Go To My News

Posted: August 19, 2020

The Go To My News is a questionable browser extension whose installer is known to bring undesired changes that concern your Web browser's configuration. Although the Go To My News claims to want to help serve you relevant news and articles, its true purpose is to promote the website located at Search.hgotomynews.com. The Go To My News does this by setting this page as your default new tab, therefore ensuring that you will bring plenty of traffic to it whenever you try to browse the Web.

If the Search.hgotomynews.com website has been appearing in your browser regularly, then you should know that the Go To My News Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) is the most probable culprit. To prevent this minor annoyance from bothering you, there are two options to remove the Go To My News: manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security application.

To avoid future encounters with dubious add-ons that manipulate your Web browser configuration, we advise you to use software from credible publishers and make sure that the add-on you are eyeing has a decent rating and number of downloads. Last but not least, users should pay close attention to the permissions it asks for when you try to install it – add-ons that ask to replace your new tab page or search engine often are PUPs.
