GoGoGoRadio Ads

What is GoGoGoRadio?

The GoGoGoRadio application supposedly allows users to listen to music and radio programmes online. Some users may find this program legitimate and useful, however, GoGoGoRadio is adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

GoGoGoRadio is distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', and therefore, users often inadvertently install this bogus application. Bundling is stealth installation of additional applications together with regular software, thus, GoGoGoRadio is often distributed with free software downloadable on freeware download websites.

Following installation, intrusive online advertisements are displayed and Internet browsing activity is tracked.

Pop-up, banner, and in-text are just some examples of many ads generated by this PUP. Some of these ads can redirect to rogue websites containing infectious content, and therefore, clicking them exposes your system to risk of infection.

GoGoGoRadio gathers Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine users' geographic locations), search queries, URLs visited, pages viewed, and other details that may be personally identifiable. This behavior can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to uninstall GoGoGoRadio from your computer.

Be aware that a previous variant of this adware was named RadPlayer. GoGoGoRadio is regular adware with similar or identical behavior to many others including PastaLeads, Local Temperature, and GeniusBox - all claim to improve the Internet browsing experience in some way, however, their purpose is to generate revenue by delivering intrusive ads and sharing collected data with third parties.

None provide any real value for the user. Applications such as GoGoGoRadio are often distributed using small programs called 'download managers' on freeware download websites including downloads.com, soft32.com, and softonic.com.

These sites employ download managers as traffic and free services monetization tools by offering installation of third party applications together with the chosen software. Although download managers guarantee that their promoted apps are '100% legitimate and virus-free', most are categorized as adware or malware.

To avoid this type of computer infection, closely inspect the free software download procedure and uncheck any additional programs included.

Furthermore, during installation of downloaded software, select the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' options - this will reveal any concealed third party apps listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. If you have installed GoGoGoRadio, the following instructions will guide you through removal of this adware from your system.
