Ilivid is considered a potentially unwanted program that you should preferably not have on your PC. It gets onto your operating system when you download free applications off the web, such as movies, pirated software or music. Illivid gets installed at the moment you install these free programs, and it automatically becomes your default search engine as well as your default homepage. It can get added on to browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. This adware programs is presented as a legal program called “Ilivid Free Download Manager,” which claims to be a tool that allows you to optimize all your downloads.
Ilivid redirects your web browser and sends all of your online searches to the website www.ilivid.com. And that’s not all: this adware program can also infect all the web browsers installed on your computer. Plus, Ilivid automatically adds, without your permission, various items onto your browser, like a search box. And all that leads to a slower PC. Plus, when you search on the search engine, the results that are displayed are not the ones you want. And when you type a legal domain name into your browser, you are redirected right away to the ilivid.com website or to a web page full of advertisements.
