I wrote this article to help you remove Lolo Setup Virus. This Lolo Setup Virus removal guide works for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer.

If an abnormal amount of advertisements is hindering your browsing process, prepare for trouble. Adware is a malicious parasite, responsible for the whopping number of ads displayed on your browser in many forms – pop-ups, banners, blinking messages, even in-text! Lolo Setup is an example of such annoying cyber pest. It is capable of corrupting every browser you have on your computer – Safari, Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Edge, Explorer. No browser is immune to its nasty actions. This malicious software will do anything to ensure that the adverts it creates are profitable enough.

To make certain of it, the adware will steal victim’s browsing data like surfing history, search queries and web habits. With this valuable information, it can customize the promoted content so it is more appealing to the user. Not only the criminal minds behind this malware are going to profit from the pay-per-click scheme. The targeted advertisements are also beneficial to the sponsored pages the adware promotes. The thing with the Lolo Setups is, that by displaying so many ads, it will cause a serious decrease in the browser’s performance, making it impossible to have a normal browsing experience, and thus, the user will be unable to do any kind of work on any browser they have on their PC.

Adware is known to lurk in spam emails and attachments, corrupt links and ads, freeware, fake update messages, torrent files, etc. Pop-ups and all type of ads in general, are created to appear as attractive to the user as possible. Adverts’ only purpose is to create income each time they get clicked on. Many cyber criminals exploit this system, and count on the user’s naivety and negligence to trick them into following infected links.

Not every promoted page you see is reliable. Always think twice before clicking, as that action may be crucial for your online security. It is common for people to get tricked by ads that promote different exclusive deals, special offers, one-time-only coupons and discounts. Usually what happens is that users get redirected to suspicious third-party websites that can potentially infect their computers with viruses. We strongly suggest our readers pay close attention when they are online and rely only on official and licensed sources when they download or update software.

The Lolo Setup extension does not pose a risk as dangerous as a Trojan Horse infection would, but that does not mean that this adware is harmless. On the contrary, it is more than capable of doing very serious damages to your computer, if you let it roam free for a long period of time. You see, the longer it stays unattended on your browser, the more advertisements it will be able to generate. This will inevitably lead to your browser getting so overloaded with intrusive ad content, that it won’t be able to run properly.

At some point, the adware will stop working entirely, leaving you with no means to connect to the internet on your PC. Not to mention the hidden threat that lurks behind the generated adverts. You may be one click away from a potential cyber infection, as you never know where the redirects might lead you to. Who knows, a seemingly reliable ad might lead you to an infected source that can open backdoors for hackers that seek a way to steal your personal and financial information. That’s why you need to remove this malicious parasite from your computer as soon as possible before your online security and privacy get compromised and you lose your valuable data.
