Stop getting redirects to/from telecomer.live
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is telecomer[.]live?
Sharing many common traits with watchonline.click, getmedia.me, exclusivenotifications.com and thousands of others, telecomer[.]live is a rogue site. It is designed to generate redirects to untrustworthy/malicious websites and to present questionable content to users.
Most visitors to this dubious site accesses it inadvertently; either by being redirected from clicking on an intrusive advertisement or by having it force-opened by PUAs (potentially unwanted applications).
It is noteworthy, that these apps do not need express user permission to invade their devices. Once successfully infiltrated, they cause rampant redirects, deliver invasive advert campaigns and some can even gather intel on users' browsing activity.
Intrusive advertisements spread telecomer[.]live by redirecting to it. While, PUAs further it by force-opening new browser tabs/windows and likewise redirecting to it. The first thing this site does is check visitor's IP (Internet Protocol) address, in order to learn their geolocation.
This data is key to determining its further course of action; either redirecting users elsewhere or forcing them to consume highly dubious content. Additionally, telecomer[.]live misuses browser notifications and hides the consent option beneath clickbait.
Clickbait is a type of content, designed to attract user attention and get as many clicks as possible (e.g. "page is loading, click here to continue", "press allow to verify, that you are 18 or older", "tap allow to view newest/viral videos/movies/etc." and the like).
If consented to these notifications (or tricked by the website's clickbait), it begins running invasive ad campaigns. Advertisements of this kind are deemed a threat, due to the unreliable/malignant sites they redirect to and because of their ability to execute scripts, designed to autonomously download/install PUAs.
As previously mentioned, unwanted applications can also generate redirects and deliver intrusive advert campaigns. By employing a wide array of tool, they enable third party graphical content. Thereby, delivering ads that can seriously diminish browsing quality; limit browsing speed and site visibility, by overlaying original content.
Another heinous ability that some PUAs have is data tracking. By monitoring browsing activity, they can find traces of personal information. What is crucial to understand, is that this data is then passed onto third parties (potentially, cyber criminals), seeking to misuse it for financial gain.
In summary, PUAs can cause serious browser and system invasions/infections, as well as lead to severe privacy issues (even identity theft). To ensure device and user safety, all rogue applications must be removed from systems without delay.

Most PUAs hide behind the guise of functionality. They offer various "useful" and "advantageous" features. Though few of these every work as advertised, if they are functional at all. What must be understood, is that all these promises of beneficial things are merely tricks to make users install these malicious applications onto their devices.
They have but one purpose, and it is creation of profit for their developers; to users they have no genuine value. Instead of operating as advertised, they generate redirects to unreliable/malignant sites, deliver invasive advertisement campaigns and gather sensitive information.
How did adware install on my computer?
By clicking on intrusive ads, users can trigger them to execute scripts and download/install PUAs without their knowledge and consent. However, these applications can also be installed by users themselves, along with desired software. "Bundling" is a deceitful marketing tactic, by which regular programs are packed together with rogue apps.
By rushing through the installation process (ignoring terms, using pre-set options and skipping steps), users can unintentionally allow PUAs to invade their computers.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
In general terms, knowledge, attentiveness and caution are key to computer safety. To avoid PUA infiltrations users are encouraged to have prudent browsing habits and to be attentive when downloading/installing software.
To elaborate: only official and verified sources should be used for software downloads, as opposed to peer-to-peer sharing networks and other third party downloaders. Reading installation terms, studying possible options, using "Custom/Advanced" install settings and opting-out/declining additional apps/features - are also recommended.
When browsing - avoiding suspicious sites and advertisements. As intrusive ads tend to appear utterly ordinary and harmless, it is easy to be fooled by them. However, the websites they redirect to (e.g. gambling, adult-dating, pornography and others) can be used as an identifier for their inauthenticity.
In case of encounters with such ads/redirects, users are advised to inspect their device and remove all dubious applications and/or browser extensions/plug-ins. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
