Landpage.co Facebook Virus - How to remove

Landpage.co is often considered by some people as a Facebook virus. However, the Facebook company has nothing to do with it. What landpage.co does it generating the great number of unsolicited pop-ups as the part of a massive spam campaign on Facebook’s Messenger feature, or through the Messenger application directly. Pop-ups by landpage.co may be very massive and keep distracting the user’s attention considerably. Therefore, the term “virus” is the first word that comes to the minds of people when they start observing this unusual activity on Facebook.

Landpage.co pop-ups are not a matter of entertainment for those who distribute them. The pop-ups specifically perform the functions granted to them by several advertising companies. They aim to redirect the browser to the wide range of third-party websites of an extremely bad reputation. In the short or long run, the computer may become infected even more as a result of such redirections. It is absolutely clear that your computer needs to be fixed to stop the damaging effect of landpage.co on your device.

Traits of landpage.co pop-ups

Once landpage.co starts attacking the screen through the Messenger, it indicates several deceptive statements to make you click on the specific link in the pop-up. The pop-up could mention that it links to some shocking video content or certain picture of you or your friend on Facebook, including the short text message and a shocked emoji.

Landpage.co pop-ups are normally sent by means of the hacked Facebook profiles. Clicking on the links integrated into landpage.co generates some sort of a deceptive offer, or it may initiate the hidden download process leading to the installation of malware. It is very important that you stay away from interacting with these pop-ups, even if you receive the message from your close friends on Facebook.

According to the research, landpage.co may offer you to participate in some sort of business optimization training or various fitness programs. However, the main goals of these offers are totally different. They eventually pursue the following objectives:

• attempting to obtain your sensitive credentials;
• sell rogue security software;
• install malware into your device.

We strongly advise you to be very careful when landpage.co pop-ups attack your browser. Do not provide any of your personal or credit card details. This information may be stolen and granted to online criminals, eventually resulting in the essential financial loss.

The continuous display of landpage.co Facebook virus in your browser may be the typical evidence of your device to be infected with PUP (potentially unwanted program). It may function as an independent software mentioned in the list of your available applications, or as a specific third-party browser extension. If this is true, there may be other negative side effects that accompany your browser when it is contaminated by adware or hijacked, such as:

• home page and default search engine modifications;
• new browser tabs randomly opening on a regular basis;
• placement of advertisement banners and sponsored links not related to the websites you visit;
• installation of third-party software beyond your control.
