About Ilividlive.com virus

Ilividlive.com exists to advertise a bunch of commercial websites, including search engines. It seems to me that provides no valuable features, only quick links to affiliated websites (iLivid, Torch browser).

Ilividlive.com allows you to search the web, but only on Ask.com. This search engine is associated with many browser hijackers, such as SMSfromBrowser.

Moreover, the Ilividlive.com hijacker may collect information about your search queries and browsing habits, as well as info about your demographics, language, location, and software installed. This data can be used for targeted advertising and may even be shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Later on, you may receive more targeted ads on your computer in the future.

 

It is clear that your web browsing will not be improved by using Ilividlive.com. In the worst case, you may be redirected to infected websites and be exposed bad advertisements (scams, viruses). At best, your search engine choice is restricted for absolutely no good reason.

Ilividlive.com isn’t even an originally designed new tab – it’s exactly the same as Tab2play.com and very similar to many Myway hijackers.

It’s advisable to remove Ilividlive.com from your system. There are plenty of reliable new tabs which you should choose instead of this one. Even the basic default new tab pages offered by web browsers have more functionality than Ilividlive.com.

Distribution Methods of Ilividlive.com virus

Most likely, you never meant to install Ilividlive.com. Maybe it came with a utility, like a media player, a download manager, or something like that. Indeed, Ilividlive.com is associated with the old iLivid download manager, so that may be how you got this hijacker installed.

It’s important to be careful while installing free software and to take the time to read all the options. Some installers have ads embedded in them – optional offers that are installed alongside the program. You must refuse them if you want to avoid having random junk infect your computer.

Hijackers like Ilividlive.com tend to be presented as tools that “enhance” your browser or your search. Don’t fall for that – Ilividlive.com is just there to track you and to make you visit related websites, helping create profit for their operators.

Nowadays, hijackers such as Ilividlive.com also spread in deceptive ads on the internet. Do not install unknown browser extensions, don’t fall for misleading ads.
