iLivid.com is a website associated with a download manager known as iLivid. In general, this application is considered safe to use and download. However, iLivid.com can decrease your connection speed and cause performance problems. Unfortunately, while iLivid and iLivid.com are safe to use, these programs have been associated with various unsafe components. Because of this, ESG security researchers advise only using iLivid or visiting the iLivid.com website under safe circumstances, making sure you keep your computer protected from any associated malware, and avoiding its use if you are particularly worried about acquiring an unwanted presence on your computer.
The Redirections of iLivid.com to iLivid
iLivid.com distributes iLivid, a program that is designed to allow computer users to search for and download popular videos from file sharing websites and online video websites. However, there have been some complaints about redirects to iLivid.com, iLivid's website. At present, ESG malware researchers have connected these browser redirects to the SearchQu browser hijackers as well as to several other PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). Although iLivid.com is considered safe, it seems that criminals have used redirects toward this website to profit from affiliate marketing revenue. However, if you wish to use iLivid.com's services to watch television online, ESG security researchers consider this a safe website as long as you avoid downloading its software from a third party and visit iLivid.com directly rather than through the effects of a browser hijacker. If you discover that your web browser is taking you to visit iLivid.com against your will, it is highly likely that your computer has become infected with a dangerous malware infection.
Is iLivid.com Itself Safe?
iLivid.com and iLivid itself are considered safe. This application can be downloaded from various reputable websites. However, there is a catch: iLivid is supported by advertising. This means that installing it on your computer may cause various unwanted behaviors on your computer. Malware researchers have received reports of the following symptoms associated with iLivid:
- The homepage for the computer's web browser may be changed to iLivid.com.
- The default search engine for the computer's web browser may also be change to iLivid.com.
- Ilivid may also offer to download third-party software or components that are not required, and that may contain more dangerous content or adware content.
All in all, ESG malware analysts advise turning to other alternatives in order to avoid these kinds of annoying behaviors.
