Olpair.com Ads

What is olpair[.]com?

The olpair[.]com website offers the ability to pair devices with openload[.]co and stream music and videos using the Kodi media player on Windows, Android, and other desktop or mobile operating systems. This service is relatively safe, however, olpair[.]com developers use advertising networks.

Therefore, visitors are likely to encounter redirects to dubious websites and receive intrusive advertisements.

Due to redirects, visiting olpair[.]com might cause unwanted installations and computer infections. Some of the opened websites might promote dubious, potentially malicious software. This could lead to scam websites such as tech-support scams or pages displaying fake virus alerts, errors, and so on.

In many cases, users might be tricked into downloading and installing potentially unwanted apps (including browser hijackers, adware-type apps, and so on). With regard to tech-support scams, scammers attempt to extort money from users by urging them to pay for technical support services or software.

Furthermore, ads displayed by olpair[.]com might open similar websites or other untrustworthy pages. Some sites might run scripts that, if ads are clicked, download and install dubious or even malicious applications. Additionally, olpair[.]com asks visitors for permission to show notifications.

Giving these permissions might inadvertently allow olpair[.]com to show irrelevant notifications, news, pop-up ads, and so on. An example is a pop-up notification leading to a website that supposedly contains information about how to earn significant revenue by investing minimum funds.

These scams should not be trusted and the notifications can lead to dubious pages that promote unwanted apps.

olpair[.]com is similar to other pages such as rackcdn[.]com, savefrom[.]net, and youtubnow[.]com. These websites are not usually dangerous, however, using them might cause unwanted redirects, downloads, installations, computer infections, and so on. We recommend that you avoid using these websites.

How did adware install on my computer?

In most cases, unwanted apps are downloaded and installed together with other software that people download from the internet.

Developers often use the "bundling" method, which allows them to trick people into unwanted downloads and installations by hiding additionally-included PUAs in "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings of software set-ups. Intrusive ads also cause unwanted installations/downloads. If clicked, they can execute scripts designed to download and install unwanted software.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Software should be downloaded from official pages and using direct download links. Other sources such as Peer-to-Peer networks, unofficial websites, third party downloaders, installers and other similar channels should not be used. Check "Advanced" or "Custom" settings of software setup options. Do not skip steps without first checking them.

Look for checkboxes ticked by default and dismiss offers to install or download any unwanted software. Only then finish the setup. Avoid clicking suspicious, intrusive ads, especially if they are displayed on dubious websites. They might cause unwanted redirects or installations.

If, however, redirects to dubious websites occur randomly (without clicking ads) or ads appear on all visited websites, PUAs are likely to be installed on the browser or computer. Remove all unwanted browser apps (add-ons, plug-ins, and extensions) and programs installed on the operating system 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.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
