Gogletab.com virus - How to remove

If we would not know any better, we could assume that Gogletab.com is somehow associated with the time-tested Google search system: it just seems like the creators were absent-minded and forgot to add a couple of letters “o”. However, we are not gullible to judge book only by its cover. It is clear that Gogletab.com has many resemblances to the earlier mentioned well-branded domain and it is not just a pure coincidence. Crooks intentionally create browser hijackers that are easily mixed up with other legitimate searches. Gogletab.com does not provide its own elaborate search network and simply assigns Google to do all the work. Nevertheless, we tested the original Google results with the ones provided via Gogletab.com browser hijacker. We noticed that even though they were built similarly, the Gogletab.com had incorporated questionable links that were omitted by Google.
