Gotut.ru is the address of a Russian website installed by a Browser Hijacker.
Browser Hijackers are programs or code that change some of your web browser’s options in order to redirect your browsing to certain websites, this is the case with Gotut.ru. Most Browser Hijackers replace your default homepage and search engine with websites belonging to their clients and whom will pay them according to how much traffic they can generate. In some cases they can also add websites to the user’s preferred bookmarks, as well as open unexpected tabs and windows at a high rate making it impossible for the user to close them all quickly enough. A lot of browser hijackers are constructed with poor coding practices, thus many problems can arise including execution bugs, and blocked systems due to the many resources used by the malicious program.
Gotut.ru is usually installed by a virus, or it’s installed when we visit a malicious website. However, in some cases its installation can be taken as “legitimate”, because it was installed at the same time as a freeware was. They manage to do this without the user being aware or desiring this “optional” installation when the user fails to read thoroughly the conditions or license of use.
