Search.hgomaps.co

Search.hgomaps.co hosts a search feature, which is accompanied by a number of links that can take visitors to reputable online maps, news pages, and additional Web portals where they can find a broad range of useful information to plan their commute or an upcoming trip. While the usefulness of Search.hgomaps.co will certainly be appreciated by some users, we'd like to notify them that this website is associated with a Web browser extension that researchers have identified to be a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) – Go Maps.

The Go Maps add-on is the product of Polarity Technologies, a software publisher whose portfolio consists of browser extensions mostly, which grant their users access to valuable, useful features. However, what all of the Polarity's add-ons have in common is that they also require permission to modify the Web browser's settings to set their new tab page to a website affiliated with the publisher. As you might already tell, the Go Maps extension is meant to set your new tab page to Search.hgomaps.co. While changes of this sort are not harmful, you should keep in mind that extensions of this sort are usually created with one thing in mind – to increase the author's advertising revenue by boosting the amount of traffic that the promoted website (Search.hgomaps.co) receives.

Polarity Technologies seem to promote and maintain more than one product that provides users with access to online maps - Easy Driving Directions - Search.searchdirex.com & Directions and Map - Config.hdirectionsandmap.com are other two browser add-ons that are part of the Polarity's portfolio.

If your Web browser redirects you to Search.hgomaps.co against your will regularly, then the likely reason for this is that you have installed the Go Maps browser extension recently. Thankfully, resolving this minor issue is easy – all you need to do is to uninstall the Go Maps program either manually or with the assistance of a suitable PC security utility.
