Gamegogle.com Removal Guide

You must identify Gamegogle.com as a browser hijacker if this search engine has replaced the regular search tools on your Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Firefox browser without permission. Note that the threat can take over several browsers at the same time, so if you have noticed the hijacker on one web browser, you need to check others as well. If you need to delete Gamegogle.com from your browsers, it is likely that you have to remove gamegogle 3.1 as well. This app provides a desktop shortcut that also leads to Gamegogle.com. We can show you how to remove the app and delete the associated browser hijacker.

The files of Gamegogle.com browser hijacker are signed by Beijing Gaojiaoxintu Technology. Are you familiar with this company? Our malware researchers are already familiar with it, because we have recently reported the Jogostempo.com browser hijacker that has been developed by the same company and that also requires removal. Even though the names of these hijackers are different, we can assure you that both of them have been created by the same company, because they look and work in the same way. First of all, both of these hijackers are spread via software bundles packaged with various different programs. As you must understand, this means that you might have to remove Gamegogle.com-related applications. A malware scanner can help you detect these threats.

Both Gamegogle.com and its clone have been set up to present banner advertisements and promote links to third-party sites. Some of these links provide access to popular sites, but others can link to highly unreliable, even corrupted sites. If you do not want to be tricked into visiting websites that might have been set up or taken over by schemers, you need to eliminate all of the risk factors which, in this case, are the ads and links to unfamiliar sites. If you remove Gamegogle.com from your browsers and delete all other threats that could have been installed on your PC with this hijacker, you will not need to worry about the security issues associated with this malware.

You have to uninstall Gamegogle (removal step 1) from your operating system to get rid of the desktop shortcut leading to the suspicious, unreliable Gamegogle.com. To remove the hijacker from the browsers, you first need to remove Gamegogle.com (removal step 2) from the browsers, and then you need to delete the remaining files and disable the active services. If you do not delete every single component of the threat, the hijacker might regenerate. In addition, the remaining tracking cookies, services, and files could allow the developers of Gamegogle.com to spy on you, collect information about you, and even earn money by selling this information. We recommend using an automated malware remover to ensure that all malware components are deleted.
