G0push
G0push is an undesirable software app of the browser hijacker family and it is known for taking over the browser and adding new elements to it without permission. G0push can set up a new homepage address and install some new search engine in the browser.
The hijackers usually replace those with ones promoted by them in order to boost the number of users who visit the hijacker’s homepage and use their search engine. The effects of these apps can be experienced on Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and other popular browsers. Usually, a hijacker wouldn’t be restricted to as single browser type and would instead be able to integrate with any browser that’s on the user’s computer. What this means is changing your default browser will probably not solve the issue in a reliable way. The only proper solution to the irritation brought by the presence of G0push or any other hijacker in the system is to uninstall the invasive software element. Doing that, however, may require some guidance because it’s oftentimes difficult to locate and remove all elements related to the unwanted software. Many users manage to seemingly remove the hijacker only to see it return to their browser once the browsers is restarted. However, if you try out the instructions we offer you on this page, you should have no problem removing everything related to G0push from your computer.

Is g0push a virus?
The annoyance caused by the ads, the redirects, and the changes you’ve not permitted in your browser are surely enough of a reason to get rid of this hijacker, but there is actually another, much more important reason why you should most definitely remove this app. We are talking about the increased possibility of landing a Trojan, a Ransomware, a Spyware, or some other computer threat due to the hijacker’s presence in the system. Though G0push itself is much less problematic in comparison to a Trojan or a Ransomware virus, the uncontrolled activities of this hijacker in your browser may compromise the safety of your whole system and lead to an actual malware infection with some dangerous and damaging program. Many of the online threats get distributed via misleading ads, and though a hijacker wouldn’t intentionally spam you with such ads, hackers may sometimes compromise the hijacker’s ads and repurpose them for malware distribution. And since it is often quite difficult to evade all the hijacker’s ads and redirects, the chances of interacting with a malicious one go significantly up. That is why, even if you don’t mind the obstructiveness of the hijacker, like g0push, Herofherlittl or Wa5.ru you should still remove it for the sake of your system’s safety.
