Leblonmedia.com POP-UP Redirect
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is leblonmedia.com?
leblonmedia.com is one of many similar rogue websites (including ads.dlvr.live, namel.net, fresh-info.news, etc.) that redirects users to other dubious/untrustworthy sites. leblonmedia.com is often visited inadvertently - most users arrive at the site through potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that are often installed without users' knowledge.
In addition to unwanted redirects, PUPs deliver intrusive advertisements, gather information, and misuse computer resources.
Once installed, potentially unwanted programs force browsers to open new tabs/windows and redirect users to leblonmedia.com, which then causes even more (about 2-3) redirects to other untrustworthy websites. It is very likely that one (or more) of these sites will contain malicious content. Visiting them puts computers at risk.
Furthermore, potentially unwanted programs tend to gather user information such as IP addresses, search queries, keystrokes, visited websites, geo-locations, and so on. It is possible that the data will contain sensitive or personally-identifiable information that is shared with third parties (potentially cyber criminals) and used to generate revenue.
Furthermore, information collating and sharing might lead to privacy issues or even identity theft. Potentially unwanted programs also deliver intrusive ads (banners, coupons, pop-ups, surveys, etc.) that are displayed using tools that enable placement of third party graphical content on any site (and conceal underlying content).
These ads can be annoying or frustrating and redirect users to other untrustworthy and potentially malicious websites. Some PUPs are capable of running various background tasks, thereby significantly affecting computer performance. For the above reasons, you should uninstall PUPs from your computer immediately.
| Name | leblonmedia.com pop-up |
| Threat Type | Adware, Unwanted ads, Pop-up Virus |
| Symptoms | Seeing advertisements not originating from the sites you are browsing. Intrusive pop-up ads. Decreased Internet browsing speed. |
| Distribution methods | Deceptive pop-up ads, free software installers (bundling), fake flash player installers. |
| Damage | Decreased computer performance, browser tracking - privacy issues, possible additional malware infections. |

In summary, potentially unwanted programs are designed only to generate revenue by deploying ads, gathering and sharing information, and causing unwanted redirects. In doing so, they pose a direct threat to your privacy, computer, and browsing safety. In most cases, they do not deliver the functionality promised or deliver any other real value for regular users.
How did adware install on my computer?
Most potentially unwanted programs have official websites from where they can be downloaded, however, research shows that they are more commonly installed through intrusive ads or together with regular software that is downloaded from the Internet. Developers use a deceptive marketing method called "bundling" to install potentially unwanted programs with other software.
Typically, developers hide PUPs in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar sections of the installation processes and do not disclose these installations properly. Generally, users can choose whether they want to install additional software, but they often skip installation steps and thus leading to PUP installation.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Avoid using third party software downloaders, torrents, and other similar software. Use only official and trustworthy websites/sources. Remember to check all the available options (such as "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", etc.) and opt-out of offers to install additional offers when installing software.
Check for checkboxes ticked by default, implying that you agree to install software you do not want or need. Avoid clicking intrusive ads (especially when visiting untrustworthy/dubious websites). Some may appear legitimate, but they are often malicious.
If you clicked this type of intrusive ad and were redirected to a website such as gambling, pornography, adult dating, or other similar, close it and uninstall/remove any unwanted extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons from your browser, and programs from your computer immediately.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
