About Goqrench.net virus

As most of other malware of this type, Goqrench is operating as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge or even Safari. That means Apple users can get infected as well.

This browser hijacker has some attributes of adware infection, so once inside of your computer it will flood all those web browsers with ads in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with ads on it can be opened at any time as well.

Usually advertisements displayed by this malware appear while you are visiting e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Do not fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads this way. And we suggest not to do that.

If you do actually click on the advertisement displayed by Goqrench.net virus you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Goqrench.net can be described as advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising network like Google Adwords or Facebook ads, they use malware like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep Goqrench installed on your computer, various hackers and scammers will be able to reach you right on your web browsers on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.

Distribution Methods of Goqrench.net virus

Goqrench.net virus usually travels bundled with other freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, if you download and install some free PDF generator or media player, there is a chance that Goqrench will be added to all of your web browsers without even warning you about that. So if you want to avoid this happening, always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware and keep your computer secured with reliable anti-malware software all the time.
