7go.com virus is a browser hijacker that has been attacking many computers all over the world. The program displays numerous advertisements on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. The application mostly interrupts your work when you are performing search on your Internet browser. It adds various sponsored websites to your search results and displays ads about computer games. As it consumes lots of your system resources, the latter becomes considerably slower.
7go.com virus is infiltrated to computers using unfair methods which are legal and one can blame only herself for getting this annoying application because of being inattentive. It is usually added to free programs that users can download from the Internet. The application is installed automatically, unless users refuse that during the installation of the main freeware, which is often forgotten, especially if one chooses an automatic installation process instead of a custom one. Because of such unfair infiltration, 7go.com virus is considered to be a potentially unwanted program.
It is recommended to remove 7go.com virus as soon as you notice its first ads on your computer. It is known to reroute infected computers to various malicious websites where you can get your system attacked by malware and other dangerous threats. In such a case you will have much more serious issues than irritating popups to deal with.
