Do you know what Globososo is?
If you trust Globososo with your Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web, images, videos and news searches, soon enough you may endanger your own virtual security. It has been discovered that the search engine can be used to display filtered search results and initiate rerouting to various suspicious sites. Even though some unauthorized redirections could be initiated to boost traffic to websites operated upon a pay-per-click system, others could lead you to phishing scams and even spyware infiltration. If you do not wish schemers to attack your personal computer, you should not hesitate about Globososo removal for any longer.
The search engine is available at globososo.com which is administered by Kingtale Technology Inc. If cyber crooks have managed to employ the search engine to act as a malicious browser hijacker, it could filter your search results, modify the home page or the search engine and, of course, interrupt browsing session with unauthorized rerouting to other websites. The potential of this activity is discussed within the License Agreement found at the search engine. Here is an excerpt you should be aware of:
This Web site may contain links to other Web sites which are independent of this Web site. We make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, value, integrity, completeness or authenticity of the information or opinions contained in any such linked Web site, and any link to another Web site shall not in any manner be construed as an endorsement by us of that Web site, or of the products or services described therein. Furthermore, these links may lead to sites or links that contain offensive and objectionable content or which may contain dangerous computer viruses.
Since the developers of the search engine cannot guard you against potentially misleading and dangerous content, you should not use it. In fact, it would be best to delete Globososo if the website has been set as your default search engine and home page. If you are unaware of how manual spyware removal works, we recommend using legitimate security tools which could delete the application automatically.
