What is Livefeedlab.com?

You may have received some pop-up ads from Livefeedlab.com.

Livefeedlab.com is a website. But it can hijack browser settings and behave like an adware virus – displaying unwanted ads on your screen for as long as the infected web browser is open, no matter what site you’re on.

The ads that come from Livefeedlab.com are often malicious ads:

• Get-rich-quick schemes, including cryptocurrency trading platforms promoted with fake celebrity endorsements. These platforms promise to help people get rich, but end up stealing their money.
•  Malware and potentially unwanted programs. Fake virus warnings are often used to trick people into downloading adware and fake antivirus programs.
• Gambling, betting sites, and various adult websites. Livefeedlab.com doesn’t ask whether you’re an adult before it shows ads for gambling sites. Anyone using the infected browser could see those ads, including children, which could be awkward.
• Medicines, supplements, and tech gadgets. Often, various medical products are advertised online with fake testimonials by made-up doctors on spoofed news sites. Be very skeptical of any news articles that try to sell you something.
• Other adware sites and programs. Browser hijackers (like Searcheq.com) and other sites like Livefeedlab.com (such as Notifygear.com).

This makes Livefeedlab.com more dangerous than just any adware – the ads it shows could cause real harm.

How does it spread?

Livefeedlab.com uses notifications to deliver its advertisements. For this reason, it might be wise to block notification prompts in your browser. You can still allow sites to send them manually.

Notifications are messages from a website to a web browser. They’re similar to mobile app notifications and to pop-ups shown by desktop programs. They’re supposed to inform or remind you about things that are relevant to you.

Of course, some people use them to show ads.

But first, how to get people to subscribe to Livefeedlab.com’s notifications?

• Have a notification subscription page that implies that people are required to subscribe to notifications, or imply that the subscription button (the “Allow” button) does something else.
• Advertise that page on pirating sites, where obnoxious pop-up ads and elaborate redirect chains are expected. Illegal video streaming sites are the most common advertiser for a site like Livefeedlab.com.
• Hope that people who end up on the Livefeedlab.com notification page do subscribe to it.

Even though people may have allowed Livefeedlab.com’s notifications themselves, most of them probably didn’t mean to do it. That’s what malicious redirects and pop-up ads are meant to do – confuse people and convince them to follow harmful instructions.

How to remove Livefeedlab.com

Block the ads

The only thing you need to do to stop the ads coming from Livefeedlab.com is to disable notifications from this site. This can be done in your browser settings.

One way is to wait until an ad from Livefeedlab.com shows up, to click on the gear icon, and select “Block all notifications from this site”.

1. Find notifications settings in your browser:

   • Safari – in the Safari menu, choose Preferences, Websites, Notifications.

Remove malware

Keep in mind that blocking notifications from a site does not block the site itself. But you can use ad blockers, blacklists, and anti-malware programs. Livefeedlab.com is detected as being malicious by a few scanners: Virustotal.com. So are a lot of similar sites.

It’s advisable to have an antivirus program scan your device with an antivirus program, such as Spyhunter for Windows, Combo Cleaner for macOS, or whatever program you trust. As Livefeedlab.com advertises some potentially unwanted programs, it’s good to make sure that none of them were downloaded on your machine.
