Go-go.tech is a Web address associated with the activities of intrusive programs known as browser hijackers. These applications are designed specifically to assume control over users' Web browsers and cause unwanted redirects to promoted destinations with the goal of generating artificial traffic toward them. Most browser hijackers will modify the browser's homepage, new tab page, and default search engine, and the intrusive programs promoting Go-go.tech have been observed to also cause redirects when users initiate searches via the URL bar.

It should be noted that users are highly unlikely to download adware or browser hijackers intentionally. Instead, the operators of such dubious applications rely heavily on questionable distribution techniques to spread the applications. This shady behavior classified these applications as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs).

Users should be warned that PUPs often carry additional functionalities that they perform silently in the background of the system. One example includes monitoring the browsing activities carried out on the device. The PUP could harvest the entire search history, browsing history, and clicked URLs, package the data and transmit it to its operators. While PUPs are not designed to steal such sensitive data as banking details and account credentials, they could still expose you to potential cybersecurity threats.
