Globososo Virus

By JubileeX in Adware

Globososo.com is a quality search engine that replaces your Web browser's default search engine due to a browser hijacker infection. This browser hijacker will cause Globososo.com to become your Web browser's default homepage and to appear whenever you open a new tab. Globososo.com is designed to imitate the design of legitimate search engines. Although it claims to contain news, videos and interesting links, by aggregating the best results from search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing, Globososo.com actually delivers low quality search results.

Globososo.com is associated with Govome, a low quality Web browser extension. Govome is distributed and developed by Big Journey Technology Co., Ltd., a company based in Hong Kong. It is hosted on Baidu and aggregates Infoseek search results.

Unfortunately, restoring your default homepage, search engine and new tab settings is not as easy as going into your Web browser preferences. Browser hijackers do not allow computer users to undo these changes. Because of this, the first step in stopping Globososo.com redirects and other symptoms associated with this browser hijacker is removing the Web browser toolbar and other files associated with these symptoms. This can be done automatically or manually with the aid of a strong, reliable anti-malware application that is always kept updated.

There are several reasons why Globososo.com may pose a threat to your computer. These include the following:

  • Globososo.com is associated with browser hijackers.
  • Globososo.com redirects are often linked to advertisements and pop-up windows.
  • Browser hijackers associated with Globososo.com may track your browsing history and online habits in order to deliver advertisements.
