Gnoosi.net

What is Gnoosi.net?

Gnoosi.net is a French language based search engine which appears to be supported by Yahoo, and it allows you to browse the web using Web, Images, Vidéos and Actualités (news) modules. As our researchers have discovered, the search engine provides advertisement-supported results, which most of the time take over all of the search results. Is this suspicious? It definitely is and so we do not recommend using the search engine at any point because you will not be able to find any authentic or useful information with it!

Needless to say, no one would use this search engine with free will, which is why schemers have enabled it to act as a mischievous browser hijacker. Have you found out that the home page and the search provider of active web browsers have been modified without your knowledge after installing the Gnoosi Toolbar? Then there is no doubt that you need to remove it from the PC, and do you know exactly how to delete Gnoosi.net?test 100% FREE spyware scan and

How does Gnoosi.net act?

According to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, Gnoosi.net falls into the same category as such malicious, well-known hijackers as Qone8, Onewebsearch or Search.ividi.org. The clandestine computer infection may appear to enter the operating system without any of your knowledge, and that, without a doubt, is extremely intimidating. Schemers are experienced with malware proliferation and they know how to use drive-by download and social engineering scams to corrupt your web browsers. Even though it sounds quite ironic, you are lucky to have the system infected with Gnoosi.net hijacker because it is impossible to miss it running on the internet browsers. As you may know already, Trojans, keyloggers, worms and other dangerous PC threats which may attack your unguarded system are much more clandestine and more difficult to remove from the system.

The main task for the suspicious hijacker is to push you into using the worthless search engine and then clicking on the presented advertisements. If you perform a click, the developers of Gnoosi.net instantly earn money, and this is all that matters to them. They certainly do not care whether you will find information you need or whether you will not land on a corrupted website. If you do not remove the infection and continue using the suspicious search engine, there is a great chance that you will expose Windows vulnerabilities and help schemers take over the control of the entire system.
