By Domesticus in Browser Hijackers

Go.findrsearch.com is a low quality search engine that is used as part of browser hijacker and adware attacks. Threats associated with Go.findrsearch.com completely take over the victim's Web browser, forcing it to display advertisements and redirect the victim to the Go.findrsearch.com website repeatedly. Although, technically, Go.findrsearch.com redirects are not entirely illegal, these kinds of methods exist in a gray area that is not entirely legislated in most parts of the world. This is because, most of the time, computer users can opt out of installing malware associated with Go.findrsearch.com by paying special attention when installing software or agreeing to a typical user agreement. If you are suffering from Go.findrsearch.com redirects, ESG security researchers advise using a reliable anti-malware program to scan your computer and remove any threat associated with Go.findrsearch.com that may have been installed without your knowledge.

ESG security researchers advise removing threats associated with Go.findrsearch.com automatically. However, in the case of Go.findrsearch.com redirects, it may be necessary to remove some components of this attack or revert some system and browser settings manually. This is because Go.findrsearch.com is usually installed after installing a freeware or shareware program from a dubious source. These are usually Web browser toolbars or extensions that the computer user can opt out of by clicking on a specific box when installing the freeware program that they accompany. To stop Go.findrsearch.com redirects, it is first necessary to remove the downloaded browser toolbar or extension. It is also a good idea to uninstall the freeware or shareware program itself. Once this is done, it will then be necessary to revert your Web browser's settings to their defaults since most security programs will not do this step automatically.
