Googlesearch.me virus - How to remove

Googlesearch.me virus promotes a fraudulent platform for searching which has a very specific purpose. Users are encouraged to type in their names in the search box and press enter. The engine delivers results from Bing, Google and Yahoo in three different tabs. However, before these tabs are opened, results are rendered from Goto.maxdealz.com. This domain has also been involved with Secure-surf.net virus as well.

Additionally, results from Yahoo are indicated as Safer Browser Yahoo which might be that results are influenced by owners of such platforms like Search.searchfw.com. Not too long ago, a company called Safer Browser changed their name to Polarity a.k.a EightPoint technologies and started influencing users’ browsing even more persistently than before.

The feature that we feel might evidently show the unreliability of this search platform is the pop-up that appears after users click anywhere on the Googlesearch.me website. Apple.com-security_help technical support scam (Digital fraud: tech support) will offer users a chance to repair their operating system.

However, users should take note that this website does not belong to the official Apple.com domain and is completely rogue. The deceptive message insists that “we have detected a trojan virus (e.tre456_worm_osx) on your Mac”. There is no doubt that this tool will only try to infect people with malware, gain remote control over a device or steal users’ personally-identifiable information. Apple has addressed these scams and warn their users about them (Fake virus alerts).

Ever since June of 2017, Googlesearch.me computer virus has received a boost in its web traffic. Dozens of people from United States, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico and Brazil are introduced with this rogue tool. Some of this success from referrals that other websites initiate. According to our investigation. Hp.myway.com browser hijacker promotes it. In addition to this, a Russian torrent website called Torrentiko.net was also noticed to initiate redirection to the investigated search platform.

Due to displays of technical support scams, accompanied by annoying sounds of sirens, will not only scare users but also be awfully irritating. In addition to that, Trojans, worms and other disruptive malware parasites can slither into operating systems if people interact with the presented pop-ups or pop-unders.

However, sometimes viruses and be implanted even without users’ participation (Malvertising strikes). However, Googlesearch.me browser hijacker might also present such deceptive notifications like Chrome-survey.info and Survey.7113572.com. Do no trust such websites as they could be trying to learn some confidential details about users.

Googlesearch.me redirect virus should not be treated as a reliable searching platform due to the fact that sponsored content will be included into results to search queries. Some malware infections are also known to modify browsers’ settings. For instance, browsers’ could be modified to automatically install add-ons without requiring users’ permissions. This is one of easiest ways for unwanted software so slither into operating systems.
