Search.gg is the name of a browser hijacker that comes along with unwanted/rogue software. It tries its best to mimic legitimate engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and others known to many users. Inexperienced people might barely spot the difference between Google and Search.gg. Some may take it as a regular update change to their browser settings.

This could potentially happen after installing bundled software from third-party resources. Users infected with Search.gg may see new ads and redirects popping whilst surfing the web. This might bother or even downgrade your system performance due to high resource usage. It is rare that people install browser hijackers or adware on purpose. Also with noting that browser hijackers can gather personal data. Because Search.gg has access to changing your browser settings, it may also keep track of your entire activity.

Find-it.pro is a popular browser hijacker that has covered a lot of users since 2019. Browser hijackers are unwanted programs or add-ons that change default search engines and homepage settings. In other words, people infected with Find-it.pro will see their browser open with a completely different homepage address. Trying to reboot the browser or open new tabs will lead to no desired result as Find-it.pro will continue to open multiple times. Usually, the solution lies in disabling or better removing suspicious extensions from your browser. A couple of users reported that it was an ostensibly legitimate "Google Slides Offline" extension causing the changes. Therefore, it is important to search for dubious or unknown extensions in your browser settings. Unfortunately, in some cases disabling or removing extensions is not enough to delete the browser hijacker. All thanks to adware that could be installed on your system as well. If so, then it is more likely granted with certain permissions that let it reinstall the deleted extension again. Find-it.pro can pop in Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and other popular browsers as well. Note that browser hijackers are meant to earn on users by displaying doubtful ads and redirecting users through fake search engine addresses. Therefore, it is important to remove Find-it.pro once you spotted it run on your system.

OfferCore is a so-called bundler meant to distribute both unwanted software (adware) and malware. As investigation showed, OfferCore is designed to launch the installation of Furk Ultra, which is a hack program developed for a popular videogame called Roblox. Whilst such a hack actually exists and can be downloaded for free, OfferCore seems to drop only a text file named "Last_Step" containing a link to a malware file. In other words, it does not install the cheating software for Roblox as expected by users. Note that even official gaming hacks fall into the category of unwanted or dangerous software. Repacked software and other types of free installers can also promote a list of additional programs like adware or browser hijackers. This is why it is important to scan your system for malware and delete the traces of OfferCore as soon as possible. We will help you to do it in our article below.

MapperState is a Mac-oriented app that promotes advertising content along with new search settings. Usually, it is easy to spot if something suspicious has happened to your PC. Users infected with such software will see a number of ads, banners, coupons, proposals to enable push notifications, and many more unwanted changes that disrupt users' experience. Such modifications affected across browsers make MapperState classified as adware and a browser hijacker. In general, browser hijackers change search settings so that entered queries are redirected through third-party pages to popular engines like Yahoo, Google, or Bing. By doing so, they become able to generate illegal traffic on live visits. Unfortunately, applications like MapperState are also capable of running data collection. This is possible because such software has permitted access to what you search and enter on the web. In other words, MapperState may also gather your personal data (e.g. passwords, IP addresses, geolocations, etc) to gain monetary benefits. This is why letting unwanted software work in your system may lead to privacy leaks as well as the distribution of other infections. In order to remove it from your computer completely, make sure to follow our guidelines below.
