Goeaglesearch.com virus - How to remove

Goeaglesearch.com is a search engine, featuring a logo of an eagle, dressed up like the famous Uncle Sam. From this detail we could guess that Americans are the targeted audience to become infected with this browser hijacker. The interface of Goeaglesearch.com immediately generates advertisements, but we also noticed a different tendency: by clicking on a random spot of the website or a section, users are introduced with a pop-up, offering to download/update Adobe Flash player or Media Player. However, the sources of these download are clearly unreliable: Greatsoftware120.download should not become a domain that you regard as a potential provider of Flash Player. This is obviously a scam, aiming to infect you with potentially unwanted programs, or worse, stealthy Trojans. Other promotional content, found in Goeaglesearch.com, is misleading as well as it leads to websites that promote extensions for browsers.

Particular points about Goeaglesearch.com virus

Goeaglesearch.com virus should not be allowed to stay as users’ home pages, default search providers and new tab pages. Users might have downloaded an unreliable tool that ended up changing browsers’ preferences without clear consent that this modification is acceptable. Search queries that are entered in Goeaglesearch.com won’t be administered accurately and can include URLs to sponsored websites. A further proof that executing search queries with this platform is not secure is the feature of promotional content, displayed at the bottom of the page. Java plug-in can be one of the promoted downloads, but you should not agree to install it.

Furthermore, we found Go Eagle Search browser extension in the legitimate Google Chrome Web Store, but it has no reviews or comments from users. It is advertised as an easy-to-use, private search engine that will not monitor their clients’ activity. Surprisingly, there is no way of checking whether these promises are mentioned in either EULA or Privacy Policy. Once we tried to access these sections, we either got distracted with a newly generated pop-up or got redirected to the main interface of Goeaglesearch.com.

Goeaglesearch.com virus will also promote Icons Sliding browser extension and its search engine. Both of these platforms do not strike us as the most efficient choices. Therefore, we are more ready and willing to alarm users of the possibility that Goeaglesearch.com virus will introduce them to deceptive promotional content, leading to an installing of unwanted/dangerous applications. It appears to be promoting a lot of programs for Google Chrome, and Go Eagle Search is also designed specifically for this browser.

Interested in possible options for the removal of Goeaglesearch.com? We can provide you with two. The option that we recommend the most is to get an anti-malware tool and delete this browser hijacker without putting too much effort in this process. Simply exploit Spyhunter, Malwarebytes or Hitman and become more certain that malware won’t affect your safety. The alternative is to repeat the steps below and hope that they will do the trick. However, if you have downloaded a Flash Player from sources that Goeaglesearch.com virus promoted, you must check whether secretive malware samples have not started influencing your device.

Catching Goeaglesearch.com virus

Goeaglesearch.com virus is delivered with the Go Eagle Search browser extension. You can download it from Chrome Web Store or be offered to download it from other sources. Bizarre browser extensions can be offered via pop-ups: Go Eagle Search is no exception. However, we doubt that this program could bring any positive features. During installation processes of freeware, you should also be attentive. Always pick advanced/custom modes to receive more information about the program you are preparing for usage. Additionally, this option will also allow you to refuse any recommendations for additional programs. Unwanted browser extensions or other free applications are often included into installation processes. If you value your cyber security, you will only install the main application and no additional ones.
