Go Hip

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Go Hip is a website directory similar to Yahoo and a number of other search directories. The problem is it has a link on the very top of the page entitled "Click Here To Make GoHip! Your Default Search". This file changes information in your Windows registry so when you click on the Search button at the top of Internet Explorer it opens GoHip!. Many times it also changes your start page to be GoHip's as well.

 

Since the change is in the Windows Registry, its harder to remove than most installations.

 

How to Remove GoHip

The easiest way to remove it is to download the following file from the GoHip website and run it. This will remove the GoHip registry changes and allow your browser to use another search site for the default search and home pages.
