Y2Go is a potentially unwanted program that may offer methods for monitoring or viewing web traffic. The Y2Go may be offered as an add-on component for popular web browser programs where it may be somewhat intrusive with its actions and display of pop-up features or even advertisements. In most cases, Y2Go is loaded due to the installation of third party apps, freeware or bundled apps downloaded from the Internet.

The monitoring actions of Y2Go may posse somewhat questionable action for many computer users. Due to the uncertainty of Y2Go’s actions, some computer users will want to eliminate the Y2Go program and discontinue use of its offered features and functions. Those wishing to discontinue use of Y2Go may do so by either using an antimalware tool or going through the Internet settings of popular web browser programs.
