Browser Hijacked by www1.globalget.net Redirect – How to Remove?

The www1.globalget.net redirect hijacks the Internet browser and sends the users to a website controlled by the hackers behind this attack every time a search is performed on their www1.globalget.net page, which has been designed to replicate a search engine. Just like every other search engine out there, it features a large search bar in the middle of the page. Computer users land on the page and quickly enter their search query into the bar and click on the search icon.

Instead of a results page containing websites with relative information pertaining to their search, they are brought to sites that contain ads and pop ups. The group behind the www1.globalget.net hijacker places these ads all over these pages in hopes that the users will click on the offerings, earning them money for every click. So, the more traffic that they can funnel to these pages the more money they will make. This is why they created this redirect virus and browser hijackers. Their goal is to infect as many computers as possible with this, driving nonstop traffic to those sites that contain the performance based ad blocks.

Along with attempting to make advertising revenue form the users that they infect with the www1.globalget.net redirect, they also gain access to the computer and can view the files stored on the machine at any time through their remote access.
