How to stop getting redirected to and from leefmylife.info website?

What is the leefmylife[.]info site?

Leefmylife[.]info is a rogue website, which shares many similarities with hisurnhuh.com, substandid.space, snappeared.website, and thousands of others. It operates by loading dubious content and/or redirecting visitors to various pages (likely untrustworthy/malicious ones).

These sites are rarely entered intentionally; most get redirected to them by unreliable sites, intrusive adverts, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications). These apps can stealthily infiltrate systems and cause redirects, deliver intrusive advertisement campaigns, and collect browsing-related data.

Leefmylife[.]info in detail

The behavior of rogue webpages is determined by their visitors' geolocations. The sites learn this information from visiting users' IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. Hence, whether visitors are presented with dubious material and/or get redirected elsewhere - depends on their geolocations.

Furthermore, most pages of this kind use deceptive content to lure users into allowing their browser notifications. This applies to leefmylife[.]info as well; it employs fake CAPTCHA verification for this purpose. Should the website's notifications be enabled, it will start running intrusive advert campaigns.

The delivered ads promote sale-oriented, rogue, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, compromised, and malicious sites. Some intrusive advertisements can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user consent - when they are clicked on.

How do potentially unwanted applications operate?

PUAs can have various harmful functionalities, and these functions can be in different combinations. For example, these applications can force-open webpages and/or run intrusive advertisement campaigns. PUAs typically have data tracking abilities.

Targeted information includes: URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries typed, IP addresses/ geolocations, personally identifiable details, and so forth. PUA developers monetize the gathered data by sharing it with and/or selling it to third-parties.

In summary, the presence of unwanted apps on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft. To protect device integrity and user privacy, all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins must be removed immediately upon detection.

Potentially unwanted applications in general

PUAs usually appear ordinary and innocuous. Users are enticed into download/installation and/or purchase with offers of "useful" and "advantageous" features. However, the promised functions are seldom operational. The only goal of unwanted software is to generate profit at user expense.

Therefore, instead of delivering on any promises, PUAs can cause redirects, deliver intrusive ad campaigns, and collect private information.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are proliferated via downloaders/installers of other programs. This false marketing method of packing regular software with unwanted or malicious additions - is called "bundling". Rushed download/installation processes (e.g., ignored terms, skipped steps, used "Easy/Express" settings, etc.) increase the risk of unintentionally allowing bundled content into the system.

Intrusive adverts spread PUAs as well. Upon being clicked, the advertisements can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user permission. Some PUAs have "official" promotional/download pages.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is advised to research software prior to download/installation and/or purchase. Furthermore, all downloads must be done from official and verified sources. Dubious download channels, e.g., unofficial and free file-hosting websites, P2P sharing networks (Torrent clients, eMule, Gnutella, etc.), and other third-party downloaders - often offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is recommended to read terms, study available options, use the "Custom" or "Advanced" settings, and opt-out from supplementary apps, tools, functions, and so forth. Intrusive adverts appear legitimate and harmless; however, they redirect to highly questionable sites (e.g., pornography, adult-dating, gambling, and so on).

In case of encounters with advertisements and/or redirects of this kind, the system must be checked and all suspect applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - removed from it without delay. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

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.
