Ensuring your security is the first step when you are dealing with something new. Though GoMovies is used by a million of users around the globe, if it’s actually safe to use. The truth is it is perfectly SAFE since there is no chance that the developers have gone so much trouble just to steal user information and just infect your systems to play with you all.

Virus & Ad Free

As we just told you it’s safe to use GoMovies, we would like to make sure that you do not leave any loose ends from your side since there have been records that such sites have been hacked by anonymous hackers and because of this we recommend you to use an Anti-virus & a Malware software which keeps you totally safe while streaming movie on any such websites.

One more thing which you should take care of is the Ads/Pop-ups. Although GoMovies has considerably very less of these as compared to 123Movies, but we cannot neglect the fact they do need them to pay for their huge servers. As a regular user, it is quite possible that you might be irritated with those repeated pop-ups going up and in order to control those, you should use a Pop-up blocker (Chrome extension) which would make your streaming experience a bliss.
