Gotofindit.com

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

Gotofindit.com is a low-quality search engine that uses a custom Google Search field to deliver results to its users. The search results that Gotofindit.com provides may not be accurate, and they may often be different if you compare them to the original search results that Google provides. This may happen because Gotofindit.com's authors may include sponsored ads and search results that are displayed to all active users. This turns Gotofindit.com into an unreliable method to search the Web, and we discourage users from utilizing this website's search feature. The inaccurate search results that Gotofindit.com may provide are only one of this website's issues. Gotofindit.com also is associated with a browser hijacker that is programmed to hijack a browser's settings and exchange the default homepage and search engine with Gotofindit.com.

This way, Gotofindit.com's authors can get free traffic by simply distributing a small piece of software that can redirect users to their website forcefully. The changes that the Gotofindit.com hijacker applies can't be reversed without removing the browser hijacker, thus preventing users without sufficient anti-malware protection from restoring their browser's settings. If your Web browser redirects you to Gotofindit.com automatically, then it is very likely that you have installed the Gotofindit.com browser hijacker by mistake. The best way to proceed in this situation is to use an anti-malware scanner to eliminate Gotofindit.com, and then restore your Web browser's original configuration manually.
