Where does Search.golliver.com come from?

Our research suggests that Search.golliver.com is an Italian search engine that targets mostly computer users in Italy. Nevertheless, seeing the number of complaints regarding this search engine we can infer that users in other countries get affected, too.

This happens because there is no direct source for Search.golliver.com distribution, and this browser hijacker travels around in software packages. For example, our research team has found that it usually comes bundled with UltraZip and WinOff adware. Consequently, when your default homepage is modified to Search.golliver.com, it also implies that you have more unwanted applications on-board, and you must remove them all immediately if you want to avoid severe malware infection.

What does Search.golliver.com do?

Once this browser hijacker enters your computer, you can obviously tell that it changes your homepage and default search engine to Search.golliver.com. It also installs Golliver add-ons on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. However, the search engine cannot provide you with an original search service because all of your search queries are redirected back to Google search. On the other hand, this Google search page that you reach through Search.golliver.com is highly customized, and it is full of commercial advertisements.

You must have noticed already that even the Search.golliver.com homepage sports a big flash ad that promotes third-party content. The problem is that once this browser hijacker has enough data to create your online profile, it can outsource third-party content related to your likes and preferences, and then it might even push you to clicking the ads you see when you access Search.golliver.com.

You should NEVER click anything provided by Search.golliver.com. These commercial ads might as well lead you to malware-related web pages, not to mention that the information on what website you visit could be shared with unreliable third parties. Hence, it is important to remove Search.golliver.com from your system to ensure that your computer and your personal information are safe.
