search.gomaps.co is what we in the IT world call a browser hijacker, this term although exaggerated is quite on target when we realize what this page does. Here in our website we have already reported hundreds of browser hijackers, and they all work the same.
search.gomaps.co‘s goal and that of those classified as browser hijackers too, is to take the place of both homepage and default search engine on your browser. To achieve this goal, it will take the time to change the settings in all browsers installed in your computer without asking you first for any kind of authorization… if they would you might feel tempted to refuse, and that is something they are not willing to risk.
search.gomaps.co was developed to create web traffic, which is why they need to be installed in so many computers. We quickly notice in the search engine you’ll be forced to use (they use Google results as base) a huge amount of sponsored links cleverly hidden among the real results, and that’s how search.gomaps.co makes a lot of money for its creator.
search.gomaps.co is installed in such a way that to remove it becomes quite difficult. To this fact we must add that you will find a lot of websites offering you removal solutions that end up being attempts at forcing you to buy a program that is both expensive and useless. All tools included in our guide, and the guide itself are completely free and will have no issues removing search.gomaps.co once and for all.
