Lijit.com Browser Hijacker - How to remove

Lijit.com is a website to which you may be unintentionally redirected by certain adware enabled in your system. Once this potentially unwanted application gets installed, it modifies many important browser parameters and injects its own virtual layer for the purpose of generating the sequence of intrusive ads practically into all the genuine websites you visit.

Additionally, lijit.com redirects you to various commercial websites. The research reveals that there are three additional versions of it – ap.lijit.com, vap.lijit.com, and ce.lijit.com. Nevertheless, the behavior of lijit.com and its subdomains is basically identical. If you have discovered this website to be actively attacking your screen with ads and unexpected redirections, the best solution is to immediately undertake the appropriate measures to clean your browser from the associated adware.

Main functions of lijit.com

To say it simply, the key role of lijit.com is to spam annoying ads into your web browser. The trigger may click on an appropriate link or open a new browser tab, so you will keep encountering a lot of intrusive ads permanently. There is no “pause” or “disable” buttons that you could apply to stop its ads. The only possible remedy to fix your browser is to get rid of all the components of the adware on your device.

Lijit.com and its related subdomains have the following things in common:

• distribution through bundling with free applications;
• promoting dubious applications or displaying misleading security warnings;
• forwarding the browser to many commercial pages without the user’s direct permission;
• tracking your browsing activities;
• delivering intrusive ads, coupons, deals, and other promoted content;
• modifications of registry and browser settings.

Lijit.com subsequently redirects the users to sorvn.com page, which has in mind to make users interact with the advertising services. Even though this particular website cannot directly or indirectly damage your device, its interconnection with many other misleading domains is a good reason to be concerned.

As mentioned above, lijit.com tracks your browsing habits through embedding itself with various tracking cookies with the capabilities to collect the data about your submitted search queries, visited pages, IP addresses, and even your previous browsing history. This may result in considerable leakages of your personal information and identity theft. Plus, a lot of your private data may be accessible by third-party companies (potentially, by online criminals). As a result, you may soon encounter even more aggressive ads, or constantly receive a lot of unwanted spam into your email box.

How does adware infiltrate your computer?

Normally, the adware that causes lijit.com redirections comes into computers though installation of freeware or shareware. There may be a lot of other optional programs in the bundle, whereas this information is often not fully disclosed. Therefore, you need to pay very close attention to what the setup process indicates. Pay attention to very important minor details. The information about the adware may be provided in a small-print form, or you may need to select the “Advanced” installation mode to uncheck all the boxes that suggest other programs you do not need.

Failure to be attentive while installing free applications may cause infiltration of many other programs you do not need. Some of them may essentially decrease the system performance by causing high CPU usage even on the brand new device that you might have recently purchased. Therefore, the quicker you get rid of lijit.com and the associated adware, the better.
