Do you know what Groovorio is?

Even though you may have no way to install Groovorio from getgroovorio.com, this application may be infiltrated onto your PC in other ways. Our malware researchers have recently discovered that the extension can be offered to you with other questionable applications represented using fictitious update installers. Beware of bogus Flash or Java update installers if Groovorio removal is not something you want to worry about.

Groovorio works differently depending on how you acquire it and what browsers you run it on. Google Chrome users will find Groovorio installed as a new tab tool offering the list of ‘Most Visited’ and ‘Recommended’ websites. Even though the application serves the same function on other browsers – it may look different, and its removal may differ as well. Nonetheless, regardless of the browser, you may discover groovorio.com installed as the default home page/search provider. This tool is not malicious; however, it provides banner advertisements which you should avoid. Adclick.g.doubleclick.net is the adware server responsible for the flooding advertisements, and some of them may be linked to unreliable parties. So, ignore the suggested installers and surveys, or delete Groovorio search altogether.
