Lampy Lighty Ads

What is Lampy Lighty?

Developed by SuperWeb LLC, Lampy Lighty is a rogue browser plug-in claiming to enhance users' Internet browsing experience by enabling comparison shopping, coupons, and other functions. While this functionality may seem legitimate and useful, be aware that Lampy Lighty is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

These associations are made due to a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional programs together with the chosen software) employed by Lampy Lighty to install on Internet browsers without users' consent.

Following successful infiltration on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, Lampy Lighty generates numerous intrusive online advertisements that include (but are not limited to) interstitial, transitional, banner, search, pop-up, and full-page ads. There is a high probability that clicking these advertisements will cause high-risk adware or malware infections.

In addition, this rogue application continually tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording various software and hardware information that is likely to be personally identifiable.

For example: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered into search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.), unique identifier numbers, and other similar details. This information tracking may lead to serious privacy issues or identity theft.

Be aware that the developers of Lampy Lighty have released several hundred potentially unwanted programs. Examples include Key Lime Lizard, Klip Pal, and Rad Rater among many others.

None of these browser plug-ins provide any real value for the user. SuperWeb LLC releases identical browser extensions under different names to avoid detection by legitimate anti-virus and anti-spyware suites.

The purpose of these applications is to generate revenue by the display of intrusive online ads and sharing collected information with third parties. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to eliminate Lampy Lighty from your Internet browsers.

Research shows that most adware is distributed via small programs called 'download clients' on freeware download websites such as download.com, softonic.com, and soft32.com. Download managers are used to monetize these websites' free services and traffic by offering installation of promoted '100% virus-free' browser plug-ins together with the chosen free software.

Thus, reckless download and installation of freeware often results in adware or malware infections. To avoid installation of Lampy Lighty, or other similar adware, be attentive during download of free software and decline installation of any additional applications offered.

Furthermore, if you are installing downloaded software, select the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options - this will reveal any bundled applications listed for installation and allow you to opt out.

If you have installed Lampy Lighty and experience 'Powered by Lampy Lighty', 'Lampy Lighty Deals', and 'Ads by Lampy Lighty' when surfing the Internet, read the removal instructions provided to eliminate this adware from your Internet browsers.
