Ads.dlvr.live POP-UP Redirect

What is ads.dlvr.live?

ads.dlvr.live is one of many rogue websites available (virtually identical to geniustrainer.net, push4check.com, umprow.com, etc.) that forces visitors to be redirected to other untrustworthy sites. Users generally arrive at ads.dlvr.live inadvertently - potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) cause redirects to it.

PUPs are often installed inadvertently and deliver intrusive ads, collect information, and affect computer performance.

When these potentially unwanted program are installed, they open new browser windows or tabs and redirect users to the ads.dlvr.live rogue website, which then causes even more (typically 2-3) redirects to other untrustworthy websites that might contain malicious content and cause high-risk computer infections.

PUPs tend to deliver intrusive advertisements (pop-ups, banners, coupons, surveys, etc.) that are displayed using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site (and thereby conceal underlying content).

When clicked, these ads often redirect users to untrustworthy websites and sometimes even execute scripts that download and install potentially unwanted programs (often, malware). Furthermore, potentially unwanted programs record user-system information such as IP addresses, search queries, visited websites, keystrokes, geo-locations, and so on.

Some of the collected data might include personally-identifiable or sensitive information. Furthermore, this data is shared with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) and used to generate revenue.

Information tracking and sharing can result in privacy issues or even identity theft, however, some PUPs also run background tasks, thus affecting computer performance. We strongly recommend that you uninstall all PUPs immediately.

There are hundreds of potentially unwanted programs of this type available on the Internet. Most offer "useful" tools, however, they do not deliver the functionality promised and are designed only to generate revenue by delivering intrusive ads, causing unwanted redirects, and collecting information. Few PUPs give any real value for regular users.

How did adware install on my computer?

Many potentially unwanted programs are available to download on their official websites, but most are installed through intrusive advertisements or together with regular software. Developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" to install potentially unwanted programs with other regular software.

They do not disclose such installations properly and hide bundled software (PUPs) in "Custom"/"Advanced" options or other settings of the installation processes.

Furthermore, many users skip installation steps without paying attention to the details, thus inadvertently allowing installation of PUPs. This behaviour often leads to computer infections, privacy issues, diminished browsing experience, and other similar problems.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Be cautions when downloading/installing software and browsing the web. Do not download software from untrustworthy sources (websites), using third party software downloaders, or torrents. Use official websites and direct links only. Pay attention to installation details and do not skip steps without first checking all available "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar options.

Deselect any unwanted offers (software, features, and other similar extras) and only then finish the installation process. Avoid clicking intrusive ads and bear in mind that they may appear legitimate (cyber criminals invest time and money into advertisement design).

Once clicked, these ads often redirect users to adult dating, pornography, gambling, or other similar suspicious sites. If you happen to encounter this type redirect after you clicked an intrusive ad, close the website and check extensions, add-ons, and plug-ins installed on your browser (or programs on your computer) and uninstall any suspicious (unwanted) entries.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
