Woso Hijacker

Posted: February 23, 2021

Woso, or the Woso Hijacker, is a dubious browser extension that users will not be able to find on any official browser extension repositories. Instead, the Woso Hijacker is being promoted through deceptive advertisements, fake downloads and other misleading schemes. The goal of the Woso Hijacker is to gain access to your Web browser's settings and then manipulate its settings to take you to 3rd-party websites whenever you browse the Web.

The goal of the Woso Hijacker is to promote a low-quality search engine that appears to support a basic search feature. The website is found at Quickgosearch.com. Using it is not recommended because it may expose you to intrusive advertisements, redirects, and other content that you are not interested in. Furthermore, the search results of Quickgosearch.com may be mixed up with sponsored results that will take you to irrelevant content.

Dealing with the Woso Hijacker on both Windows and macOS computers is a task that can be completed either manually, or by using a reputable security software suite.
