Symptoms
Your browsers can have their homepage, new tab, and search engine modified. A browser extension might be added. Advertisements and sponsored content may be shown in the search results.
A widespread method for delivery of BingoWeb(.)ga is with the aid of third-party installation setups. Without knowing, the hijacker can enter your computer. It could be hiding in freeware installs and bundled packages. Additional components are selected for installation by default in such packs.

A browser extension might come along with the hijacker and be responsible for part of the redirects. Another delivery method for this hijacker is by clicking on ads and visiting suspicious sites.

BingoWeb(.)ga – Information
BingoWeb(.)ga is the main website for a browser hijacker of the same name. Its design is familiar and it is definitely from the makers of Search-Eyes(.)tk.
If this hijacker lands on your computer, you will see a change in your browser settings. All browsers might have the new tab setting and homepages modified. The search engine can be switched with another one. The hijacker does not claim to do anything special. Ads and a bookmarks button show on the main page.
Browser extensions associated to BingoWeb(.)ga can be installed. These extensions may get to your PC from bundled software or from redirects sent by the hijacker. The extension will redirect you further and might switch more settings of your browsers. Most of these extensions can do the following:
Read and change all your data on the websites you visit
Change your search settings
All information typed into the BingoWeb(.)ga address will be filtered from it. Entering any personal information will be collected by the hijacker. The search results might show adverts or sponsored content. The results might be different from other search engines. Sometimes, BingoWeb(.)ga hijacker might use a Google Custom Search which is limited to only 10 pages of search results:
Redirects can appear from everywhere while the hijacker is inside your computer. Besides the browser extensions that can make many redirects, the homepage of BingoWeb(.)ga can unexpectedly redirect you too. Message boxes, pop-ups, text links and banners can show as ad content on the web pages you are on. The redirects could be gathering traffic to partners of the hijacker, on a pay-per-click basis.
The Privacy Policy of BingoWeb(.)ga states that it is protecting your privacy, but it’s not true. Further reading shows claims that contradict the above statement. These claims make it clear that there is data collection for their records, and done by using third-party services you have no control over:
We are using third party services to record data: “Gostats.com” “Google Analytics” “Google adsense” “Google Custom Search Engine”
Using the services of Bingoweb and the searches you make, personal information can be gathered. A snapshot of the privacy policy is shown below:

Using BingoWeb, their servers, and third-party servers will inevitably lead to the gathering of your data, according to the policy.

Cookies, beacons, and other technologies are used for the advertising and to track your personal information. DART cookies serve Google ads on their site.
The BingoWeb(.)ga site does not protect anyone’s privacy and contrary to that – it invades your privacy. Information is collected via their adverts, website visits, search page, and clicks. That data is shared with third-parties. Removing this hijacker should be your priority.
