Lp.sharelive.net

Lp.sharelive.net is a website that uses certain kind of attacks for installing threats that are disguised as legitimate downloads of media players, download managers and other software. What limited Lp.sharelive.net marketing exists tends to be in the form of pop-ups, which have been known to use the icons of unrelated companies to encourage a high click-through rate. Contact with Lp.sharelive.net, whether you accept its downloads or refuse them, is a good basis to conclude that your PC could have been compromised, after which malware analysts strongly advise you to use anti-malware software to clarify the matter.

The Site Giving You Files that Ought to be Left Unshared

Lp.sharelive.net is classified as an infection vector, or a point of contact with unsafe Web content that actively tries to distribute threats. Downloads from Lp.sharelive.net pop-ups have a tendency to be concealed in fake links for video files or download utilities like iLivid, with less than optimally careful PC users being likely to infect their own PCs before they realize what's happened. These attacks also may be backed up by download methods achieved through exploit kits and similar PC threats, which is why the use of browser-based security features may be necessary to block Lp.sharelive.net.

They also have a noted tendency to use formats implying that they're associated with other, more legitimate institutions than Lp.sharelive.net. The latest variants of Lp.sharelive.net pop-ups appear to be circulating with fake Google-themed icons, and are an example of why trusting sight over substance on the Internet is an easy way to get your computer infected.

Even if Lp.sharelive.net's downloads were legitimate, malware experts would tend to discourage installing the iLivid Download Manager, which, as a PUP, has a shady history of poor business practices and performance. However, successful installations of the Lp.sharelive.net software give the vulnerable PC something much worse than mere, unwanted programs: threats that may include functions for collecting your personal information, disabling online security features, blocking other programs or locking your desktop. Malware experts still are attempting a complete analysis of Lp.sharelive.net, but, in the meantime, any contact with Lp.sharelive.net should be handled as no more than a direct attack against your PC's security.

Blocking Another Threat-Sharing Website

Lp.sharelive.net's innocuous appearance gives no hints of its real nature, that of a threat-proliferating site that lies to its traffic to encourage easy downloads. Some passive means of protection from Lp.sharelive.net pop-ups may include blocking scripts, patching your software and having anti-malware products with Web security functions. Any case of exposure to a Lp.sharelive.net pop-up may very well compromise your PC, and, in cases where Lp.sharelive.net pop-ups appear more than once, your PC likely already has been compromised by a separate form of threat.

Dealing with the consequences of a Lp.sharelive.net pop-up requires anti-malware utilities that can determine whether or not your PC was infected through embedded exploits or related attacks that don't require you to install the software willingly. Because of the vast amounts of threatening software that don't load symptoms that are immediately visible, malware experts recommend proactive anti-malware scans of your PC, rather than reacting only after you've seen something going wrong thanks to Lp.sharelive.net.
