Stop redirects to and from localmylife.info

What is localmylife[.]info?

localmylife[.]info is a rogue website much like ewaglongoo.com, videostream.best, private-show.live, and aleailarm.com. Visitors to this page are presented with highly dubious content and/or redirected to other untrustworthy sites.

Few users enter these web pages intentionally - most are redirected by intrusive advertisements or Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUAs) already infiltrated into the system. Note that these apps do not need explicit permission to be installed onto devices.

After successful installation, however, they generate redirects, run ad campaigns, hijack browsers, and track browsing-related data.

The key to determining the localmylife[.]info course of action is the visitor's geolocation. It learns this information by checking users' IP addresses. Depending on their geolocations, visitors are redirected elsewhere or presented with dubious material.

Additionally, this website uses browser notifications, the consent option to which is disguised with 'clickbait' ("If you are over 18 click the button Allow"). If the notifications are enabled, localmylife[.]info begins delivering intrusive ads (pop-ups, banner, surveys, coupons, etc.).

These are more than an annoyance, they are also a threat to system health. When clicked, they redirect to sale-based, untrustworthy, compromised, deceptive/scam and malicious sites. Some of these ads can be triggered (when clicked) to execute scripts designed to stealthily download/install content (such as PUAs).

As mentioned, applications within this classification can cause redirects to similarly harmful web pages and run intrusive ad campaigns. The latter is achieved with the aid of various tools, which enable third party graphical content to be displayed on any site.

Therefore, ads delivered by unwanted apps significantly diminish the browsing experience (limit browsing speed and site visibility) and carry the aforementioned risks. Other types can make unauthorized changes to browsers and limit/deny access to their settings. Most PUAs also have data tracking capabilities.

They record users' browsing habits (URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather personal information (IP addresses, geolocations and other details).

To summarize, PUAs can lead to browser/system infiltration and infections, financial loss, serious privacy issues and even identity theft. To ensure device and user safety, remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins without delay.

PUAs often seem legitimate and tempt users to install with offers of "useful" functions. The advertised features rarely operate as promised and, in most cases, are nonoperational.

These apps are not created to help users, or for their convenience. The only purpose of all unwanted content is to generate revenue for the developers, whilst regular users receive no value. Rather than delivering any useful features, PUAs force-open dubious/malicious pages, run intrusive ad campaigns, hijack browsers and collect private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs commonly infiltrate systems via the download/install set-ups of other products. "Bundling" is the term used to describe this deceptive marketing tactic of pre-packing normal software with unwanted or malicious programs. By rushing through download/installation processes (e.g. by skipping steps and sections, using pre-set options, etc.), many users endanger their devices with potential infiltration and infections. Intrusive ads also proliferate these applications. Once clicked, they execute scripts to download/install PUAs without users' permission.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

You are advised to research all content prior to downloading/installing. Use official and verified download channels. Avoid Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule, etc.), free file-hosting websites, third party downloaders and similar sources, as they are untrusted.

Treat download/Installation processes with caution. Read the terms, explore all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out of supplementary apps, tools, features, and so on. Intrusive ads usually seem legitimate and harmless, however, they can redirect to dubious sites (e.g. pornography, adult-dating, gambling, etc.).

If you encounter advertisements/redirects of this kind, check the system and immediately remove all suspicious 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.

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.
