Lamilov is a potentially unwanted browser extension created by Super Web LLC, which claims to be able to improve the PC user's web browsing experience by allowing multi-website search capabilities and showing website ratings. Lamilov can be installed on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Lamilov's added functionality may appear legitimate; however, in reality, Lamilov can be categorized as an adware or a potentially unwanted application. Usually, Lamilov may install itself on the vulnerable browser without the PC users consent and lead to a variety of unwanted activities. Lamilov may display annoying pop-up advertisements (search, text link, banner, interstitial, transitional and full page ads). Lamilov may track the Internet user's web browsing (unique identifier number, IP address, browser information, operating system, web addresses visited, search queries entered, websites viewed, other software and hardware information) and may lead to serious privacy issues. Lamilov may result in web browser slowdowns and identity theft. Lamilov may come bundled with freeware and shareware applications downloaded by web users from suspicious download websites.
