How does Search.golliver.com work?
As soon as the hijacker gets installed, it takes over your browsers switching their home page, new tab, and default search provider to Search.golliver.com. The website contains a search box and such search parameters as Web, Image, Videos, Maps, News, Books, Gmail, and Other. It may look like a reliable search site, but you should not trust it. If you enter a term into the search box, you will be presented with results that include lots of ads and sponsored links. Clicking on them is not something we would recommend, because you cannot be sure of their safety. You should not take any unnecessary risks when it comes to your online security.
The hijacker also adds commercial data into other pages that you visit. You may encounter pop-ups, links, banners, pop-unders, and other types of ads no matter which site you open. It is also important for you to know that the hijacker tracks your cookies and records data about your browsing habits. This data can be used for marketing purposes, like creating targeted ads, and it can be sold to third parties. We advise that you eliminate Search.golliver.com from your browsers without delay.
