What is Go My Media?

The Malwarebytes research team has determined that Go My Media is a browser hijacker. These so-called "hijackers" manipulate your browser(s), for example to change your startpage or searchscopes, so that the affected browser visits their site or one of their choice. This one uses a proxy to displays advertisements.

How do I know if my computer is affected by Go My Media?
