Gogletab.com is an ad-supported search provider that is associated with a browser hijacker and adware. Gogletab.com uses the highly respected name of Google to pretend to be a genuine and secure search engine. The creators of Gogletab.com may use free software to spread their adware-laced toolbars. Commonly, suspicious download websites may be used to embed a particular toolbar to the package of a free application. If computer users install any freeware, they may also install an additional program, which may contain PUPs, adware or browser hijackers included on their installation. The browser hijacker may replace the default homepage and search engine with Gogletab.com, or open it as a new tab page. Browser hijackers and adware also may modify search results in any legitimate search tool and reroute PC users to Gogletab.com unwillingly. Gogletab.com may show random pop-up advertisements and may not provide computer users with trustworthy and safe search results. The changes made by Gogletab.com to the affected computer are automatic and not easy to be undone. PC infections linked to Gogletab.com also may use numerous misleading methods to make it complicated to restore the search settings, and even if the PC users remove the toolbar of Gogletab.com, their search results may go through questionable domains. To get back your normal browsing experience, you need to use an anti-malware product to get rid of the browser hijacker linked to Gogletab.com.
