Problems with Liveonscore.tv

Liveonscore.tv is a website for tracking match scores and watching sports streams. It has some problems:

• Too many ads that cannot be avoided.
• Ads that lead to unsafe websites.
• No encryption.
• Pirated streams.

Unexpected and unsafe ads

At the time of writing this, Liveonscore.tv is absurdly full of ads: banner ads, notification-like ads, and pop-ups and redirects. It opens new tabs in your browser even when you did not intentionally click on any. It just keeps opening advertisements. This really makes it hard to use the site.

And some of these ads lead to websites that could be seen as unsafe or unwanted:

• Gambling sites and online casinos.
• Notification hijackers (such as Thecoolposts.com).
• Cash prizes that lead to payday loan sites.
• Fake app update alerts. They usually lead to fleeceware apps (Wired.com).
• Other fake security warnings (tech support scams).
• Fake articles that promote get-rich-quick schemes, unsafe diet pills, male enhancement products, counterfeit products, etc.
• Fake giveaways and surveys, such as the fake Instagram prize draw.

Lack of privacy and safety

Liveonscore.tv appears to be an illegal streaming site, which explains why it shows ads so aggressively and why it allows such unsafe content to be promoted. Pirating sites tend to have a bit of trouble getting content to advertise, since not everyone wants to work with a potentially illegal site. And controversial content can’t always find publishers for their ads, since prominent websites want to stay away from them.

As a result, pirating sites like Liveonscore.tv promote potentially unsafe content.

There’s another thing that makes Liveonscore.tv a little unsafe: the lack of encryption. It seems that the site doesn’t use encryption to protect the traffic of its visitors (What is HTTPS?). This is strange, even for a pirate site. It’s not a big problem for most users, probably. But a modern website really should encrypt its traffic.

How to avoid ads on Liveonscore.tv

Block ads and malicious websites. There are programs that can do it for you. They can block ads only on specific websites. Considering that malicious ads are widely used to spread scams and malware, blocking them can really improve your online security.

Or you could stop visiting Liveonscore.tv and sites similar like it. It might be a big lifestyle change, but consider it and look for legal services (Fossbytes.com). Not all legal streaming sites are available in all countries, but it’s always worth looking into your options. Legal websites are safer and much more convenient to use, since you don’t have to suffer redirects and scam pop-ups.

Indeed, if you just never visit a pirating, converting, file-hosting, or similar site, you can get by with no antivirus scanners and no security problems whatsoever. But once you interact with sites that allow low-quality ads, you start risking drive-by downloads and other infections. Then you need to protect your PC.

For when you do decide to visit unsafe, ad-filled sites, it’s important to use an antivirus program to protect your device, whether it’s a phone, a desktop computer, or something else. Look into the privacy and security settings of your browsers and operating system. Use antivirus programs like Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, and others. If they detect something, even as just a “potentially unwanted program”, take the warning seriously.
