How to stop getting redirected to/from leaked-video.live website?

What is the leaked-video[.]live website?

Leaked-video[.]live is a rogue site designed to load dubious content and/or redirect visitors to various untrustworthy and possibly malicious webpages. Users seldom intentionally enter websites of this type; most get redirected to them by intrusive adverts or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

These apps can infiltrate devices without explicit user consent. PUAs can have heinous abilities, including - force-opening sites, running intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collecting browsing-related information. The Internet is full of pages similar to leaked-video[.]live; pushnote.top, agazinethede.biz, mahaidroagra.com, and pesoaniz.com are but a few examples.

The behavior of rogue websites is determined by their visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Hence, whether visiting users are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on their IP addresses/ geolocations.

In addition to this, most webpages of this kind use deceptive content or statements to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Leaked-video[.]live is not an exception to this; it employs visual clickbait, which suggests that enabling the site's browser notifications will allow users to watch the video presented in it.

Should the browser notifications be enabled, leaked-video[.]live will begin running intrusive ad campaigns. The delivered advertisements are more than just a nuisance, they also pose a threat to device/user safety.

Upon being clicked, intrusive adverts redirect to various unreliable/malicious websites, and some can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission. Potentially unwanted applications can have different functions, which can be in varied combinations.

To elaborate, these apps can cause redirects and/or deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns. Furthermore, PUAs typically have data tracking abilities.

They can record browsing activity (URLs visited, webpages viewed, search queries typed, etc.) and gather sensitive information extracted from it (IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, etc.). The collected data is then shared with and/or sold to third-parties (potentially, cyber criminals).

In summary, the presence of unwanted software on devices can result in system infections, serious privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To protect device integrity and user privacy, all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be eliminated immediately upon detection.

PUAs appear legitimate and useful. These apps tend to offer a broad range of "handy" and "advantageous" features. However, these functions rarely work as advertised, and in most cases - they do not work at all.

The only aim of PUAs is to generate profit at user expense. Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, run intrusive advert campaigns, and gather private data.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed alongside other software. This false marketing method of packing ordinary programs with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling".

These supplements can be hidden with the "Custom/Advanced" download/install settings or left entirely unmentioned. Hence, by rushing through download/installation processes (e.g., ignoring terms, using the "Easy/Express" settings, etc.) - users risk inadvertently allowing bundled content into their devices.

Some PUAs may also have "official" promotional sites from which they can be downloaded. Once clicked on, intrusive advertisements can execute scripts to make stealthy downloads/installations.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software prior to download/installation and/or purchase. Additionally, all downloads must be performed from official and verified sources.

Dubious download channels, e.g., Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, unofficial and free file-hosting websites, and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled and dangerous content. When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, functions, and other additions.

Intrusive adverts appear legitimate and harmless; however, they redirect to highly questionable sites (e.g., pornography, adult-dating, gambling, etc.). Should users encounter ads and/or redirects of this type, they must inspect their devices and immediately remove all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected.

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