Leblonmedia.com Pop-up - How to remove

Nowadays advertisements and various appearing promos follow us in the majority of websites we visit, however even the online marketing has limits and sometimes enough is enough. Pop-ups and redirects once in a while can be a pretty normal occurrence but if you start experiencing such browser activities that lead you to irrelevant sites, scams, ads and etc. every single time you press on a link or search button, then it means that it is time to clean your PC because there may be a malicious program that is causing pop-ups like Leblonmedia.com and using you to generate money for hackers and companies in shady ways.

Leblonmedia.com pop-up appears as a New Tab or new browser window and redirects you to some sponsored deals or fake gift, lottery scams. It is great if you are careful and aware that this is a threat and don’t click on it, but at the same time, it is very annoying and dangerous to keep dealing with such excessive pop-ups since they not only get displayed every couple minutes but also they can present adult content too which is very inappropriate and may contain more malware. Not to mention what happens if you click on it. Therefore knowing how Leblonmedia.com pop-ups can negatively interfere with your online surfing, 2-viruses.com team prepared an article with instructions for the removal of this irritating site.

What is Leblonmedia.com pop-up

Leblonmedia.com pop-up is not a virus but often referred to as a malware because it demonstrates some virus-like behavior and is a good indication about underlying issues with system security, like adware (KraKra games, Powzip, Better World) infection. Leblonmedia.com site can redirect you to other malicious sites or display offers and scam offers to expect to steal personal information about the user and generate revenue from the third-party sponsors that pay well to get their products aggressively pushed to online users. This message can simply appear once or twice for any user, but when it starts disrupting the online browsing showing up every couple seconds it is an issue that needs to be solved fast and for a good reason. Very similar pop-up viruses are Mobi.Trkerrr.net, Adf.ly, Clicknshare.net.

According to the Similarweb.com the main countries that are mostly bothered by Leblonmedia.com pop-up are the United States, Turkey, and Brazil. Interesting enough the popularity of Leblonmedia.com has peaked last month and stayed up in August too, resulting in 7.20M visits compared to just 2.7 million in June. Other known subdomains of Leblonmedia.com are adserver.leblonmedia.com and ad1.leblonmedia.com, which also are found to be acting as pop-ups. Furthermore, the site shows that top publishers delivering ads on Leblonmedia.com pop-up site are the best.onlinedeal28.info, bestlink.pw, freevids.top, teenroom.online.

Several of these pages provide not just Annoying ads, but adult content as well, which inappropriately can be displayed to younger computer users if Leblonmedia.com is not taken care of. The reason why Leblonmedia.com pop-up causes such issues is that marketing techniques allow them to gain money from third parties for allowing them to Reach the user directly through ads (these promos are not regulated and can contain malware), participating in pay-per-click/pay-per-view campaigns, and gathering personal information about the victim and selling it either for the Marketing statistics or on the DarkNet. The information that Leblonmedia.com can collect is geo-location, system data, credit card info, search queries, visited websites, bought items, visited pages, credentials, passwords and much more, resulting in serious danger for privacy.

How did you end up with Leblonmedia.com pop-up

Leblonmedia.com pop-up is a consequence of another malicious program running in the background of your operating system and generating ads. That adware or PUP could have been brought in many malicious ways, but the most common is bundling with Freeware/shareware. That means that maybe recently you ran a fake update, downloaded a torrent or a collection of programs that had an adware virus inside their installation file. We tend to skip through the SetupWizard as fast as we can, but that is where the Leblonmedia.com pop-up displaying virus is hiding. If you pick Custom installation option, there will be an additional software or extension, marked to install with the main program by the default, unless the user selects otherwise.

In some cases, sneaky adware/pup is causing Leblonmedia.com pop-ups indirectly by firstly taking a user to other shady advertising sites that will later redirect victims to the main pop-up. You can see the top referring sites that guide you to Leblonmedia.com in the picture above as well as the sites where Leblonmedia.com will redirect you. Nevertheless, not always you have to have an adware installed since it is enough to visit one of these dubious sites on the left and you can end up with a Leblonmedia.com pop-up virus.
