Lamilov Virus

What is Lamilov?

Lamilov is a browser extension claiming to enhance users' Internet browsing experience by enabling multi-site search capabilities and displaying website ratings. It is compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

While this added functionality may seem legitimate, Lamilov is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application, since it commonly installs on users' Internet browsers without their consent and causes various unwanted advertisements (search, banner, text link, transitional, interstitial, and full page ads).

Moreover, it tracks users' Internet browsing (IP address, unique identifier number, operating system, browser information, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered, and other software and hardware information) and may cause serious privacy issues.

While technically it is not a virus or malware, Lamilov adds little or no value, causes diminished Internet browser performance, and may lead to identity theft. A common source of such adware is free software download websites, which use 'download clients' to manage the freeware download process.

Download clients are small programs, which offer installation of free browser add-ons (in most cases adware) together with the chosen free software. You are advised to remove Lamilov from your Internet browser/s.

The Lamilov browser extension is developed by Super Web LLC and is similar to other potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) created by this company. Examples include PlurPush and GreyGray amongst many others. This company has released various identical adware with different names - a strategy to avoid detection by legitimate antivirus and anti-spyware programs.

The best way to avoid installation of such potentially unwanted applications is to pay close attention when downloading free software. If your download is managed by a download client, look for the 'decline' button if you are encouraged to install any additional software.

If you are not allowed to continue download of your chosen freeware after declining installation of any promoted browser add-ons, cancel the download process and search for alternative download locations. To eliminate Lamilov adware from your system, use the removal instructions provided.
