Suddenly ILivid took over your homepage and you cannot remove it.
iLivid is issued by Bandoo Media Inc, and it;s classified as adware. This potentially unwanted program makes its way to your computer by means of finesse and deception. It’s so sly when it comes to tricking you into approving its installation that, not only do you allow it in, but you also have no idea that you did. After it dupes you into letting it in your system, it proceeds to make a complete mess. It will commence a full-on bombardment of pop-up advertisements shortly after infection. The ads will show up every single time you try to browse the web, and the only way, to stop them from appearing, is to delete iLivid entirely. If you choose not to, you’ll only be setting yourself up for a bad time as more and more issues will arise, courtesy of this malicious and intrusive application. Do what’s best for you and your computer, and delete it immediately. You’ll save yourself a ton of headaches and troubles.
How did I get infected with?
As was already mentioned, iLivid is quite skilled when it comes to getting you to permit its installation. It has an entire array of tricks with which to deceive you. More often than not, the program resorts to hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because most users pay little to no attention when going through its installation, when it should be quite the opposite. Freeware is often bundled with all sorts of malware, so skipping to read the terms and conditions, and agreeing to everything in haste, is not the way to go. Especially, if you wish to keep your computer safe from infections. Nothing good will come from you being distracted and in a rush. Some of iLivid’s other preferred ways of invasion include posing as a bogus system or program update, and it can also hide behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, and corrupted websites. Try to remember that a little extra attention goes a long, long way
Why is this dangerous?
iLivid is an ad-supported application, which is why it floods you with so many pop-up ads. In order to continue its operations, it has to generate web traffic for specific websites and produce pay-per-click profits for the third parties behind it. Every ad, it fools you into clicking on, is cash for these people. However, it is NOT advised to click on the ads as they are highly unreliable and will most likely cause further damage to your system. Aside from bring you harm and frustration, the ads will also cause plenty of issues. For example, due to their constant appearance, your system will start to experience frequent crashes, and your computer’s speed will slow down to a crawl. Unfortunately, these issues will seem insignificant compared to the fact that iLivid severely jeopardizes your personal security. The program is designed to start keeping track of your browsing activities immediately after infection. It catalogs every move you make, and once it feels it has collected enough data on you, proceeds to send it to the people who support it. Once they have it, they can use it as they see fit, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Don’t take such a tremendous gamble and delete iLivid as quickly as possible. Your future self will thank you for it.
