Go To My News

The Go To My News is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with the characteristics of a browser hijacker. To perform its ill-minded activities, the Go To My News installs on a computer as a browser extension or a custom-built browser based on Google Chromium. In the second case, this PUP will dock a toolbar at the top of your Windows desktop, which will look like the regular Chrome browser exactly. Most people will use it without a doubt in its legitimacy

Regardless of which method the Go To My News employs, it makes changes to your browser that will lead to a deteriorating Internet surfing experience eventually. Your Web browser’s homepage and default search engine will be replaced with search.hgotomynews.com. Whenever you open a new tab or make a search query, you will be redirected to this fake search engine. The Go To My News also can track your browsing history and display sponsored advertisements or links on your desktop.

Programs like the Go To My News typically spread out through advertisements on dubious websites, or get bundled with other freeware, whereby users install them on their computers unknowingly. You should remove PUPs immediately, as they represent a threat to your online security.
