Liketour.org

Liketour.org is a potentially threatening website marketed as a travel service for finding ticket prices and related offers. Although Liketour.org may resemble a legitimate business, Liketour.org has been reported to host threatening content and has benefited from significant traffic from the unwanted changes to your Web-browsing settings made by additional PC threats. Due to the imminent hazards associated with any contact with threatening sites, anti-malware scans should follow all encounters with Liketour.org. You should remove any software that is promoted through browser hijackings by way of the usual security procedures.

A Tour of a Threat-Controlled Browser

Liketour.org is a domain with content primarily serving Russian traffic. Although Liketour.org seemingly is a business for finding good prices on tickets and providing other travel-related services, Liketour.org also is a confirmed host of aggressive Web content, in the form of JavaScript vulnerabilities. These script-based exploits may refer the victim to a second, equally threatening domain, tech5877413.ru, for which security experts have yet to examine the final payload.

It remains possible that Liketour.org is an innocent domain suffering from hacks by third parties, rather than an intentional browser-based threat. However, malware researchers also have seen Liketour.org benefit from traffic caused by various browser hijackers in the past two years. These attacks triggered may redirect to Liketour.org automatically and show signs of being the work of threatening software. Considering this evidence, the chances of Liketour.org being as much an unwilling victim as the PC users forced to visit Liketour.org seems low.

Finishing Your Tour of a Suspicious Site in Safety

Many, albeit not all forms of toxic Web content, are avoidable by a combination of anti-script settings and anti-malware browser utilities. At the time of this article, many AV companies outside of Russia have yet to identify Liketour.org and other Russia-predominant threats. Updating any out-of-date threat databases is advised to give your security software its best chances of identifying Liketour.org-based threats.

Contact with Liketour.org may instigate additional attacks that could infect your PC with threats, and being redirected to Liketour.org repeatedly may be a symptom of a prior infection, in and of itself. Although English speaking PC users also have reported incidents of being redirected to Liketour.org, the majority of victims, so far, appear to be of Russian origin. As always, since delivery vehicles for Liketour.org may include other threats that operate via non-consensual methods, conducting anti-malware scans for PC that interacts with this site is an efficient and common sense precaution.
