Gosavy Removal Guide

You may not realize it, but you probably often install programs like Gosavy on your computer, and this exposes you to a number of potential security threats. This application is an adware program that collects data on your web browsing habits. If you do not promptly remove Gosavy, this program might redirect you to unreliable websites that could be related to malware distribution. Thus, it is necessary to make sure that all the potential threats are deleted from your computer in a timely manner. Also, you should safeguard your system with a legitimate security application.

When Gosavy enters your system, it adds extension to your default browser and then starts collecting information on what websites you visit and what you search for online. This data is necessary for the adware program because it needs to generate customized commercial advertisements related to your likes and preferences. Gosavy will display those ads whenever you access such popular online stores as eBay, Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy, and others. Gosavy ads will look like coupons and discount offers that should help you save money on something you want to purchase, but clicking these ads would be a grave mistake.

There is no guarantee that Gosavy ads will lead you to an actual shopping website. Like all adware applications based on the JustPlugIt engine, Gosavy relies on third-party advertising servers for the ad content, so it does not check whether the links embedded in its ads are safe. All the other programs from the same group, including RocketCoupon, Webbing, NextCoupon, and so on, exhibit the same behavior. This means that adware programs are far from being the reliable tools they claim to be.

However, we should point out a common misconception about Gosavy and similar programs. Users tend to think that adware programs like this one are malicious infections, but that is not true. Users install Gosavy onto their computers willingly, even if they do not realize it. This happens because adware apps travel bundled with freeware in third-party installers. Gosavy gets distributed via the InstallRex, Vittalia, and Amonetize installers in p2p and other file sharing websites. Users are often too preoccupied with installing the program they want to notice that it arrives with additional apps and features they don’t really need.

You can remove Gosavy manually via Control Panel, but after that you will also need to delete the extension from your browser. On top of that, do not forget to scan your computer with the SpyHunter free scanner. You need to make sure that you have all the unwanted applications removed immediately.
