How to remove redirects from browsers caused by ilo134ulih.com

What is "ilo134ulih[.]com"?

The Ilo134ulih[.]com URL address is used in rogue ad campaigns. In some cases, seemingly legitimate search results provided by official search engines open a pop-up window with this URL and redirect users to dubious websites.

The ilo134ulih[.]com site opens sites that show online surveys, promote unwanted apps, or ask visitors to show notifications. Do not trust any web pages that are opened via ilo134ulih[.]com.

olo134ulih[.]com leads to deceptive, scam websites that are used to advertise dubious, potentially unwanted applications (PUAs). For example, it opens web pages that trick visitors into believing that their computers are infected with viruses. The main purpose is to trick people into downloading and installing a dubious app that supposedly removes the fake viruses.

Scam websites and apps advertised on them cannot be trusted. Furthermore, ilo134ulih[.]com opens dubious web pages that contain various surveys. Do not provide any information requested by these sites, since it is possible that the details will be misused to generate revenue, which could cause privacy/browsing safety problems and other issues.

Furthermore, ilo134ulih[.]com also opens dubious sites that ask visitors for permission to show notifications. If allowed, these dubious websites start feeding people with ads, unwanted notifications, and so on. It is not safe to click these ads, since they might open further untrustworthy websites or cause unwanted downloads/installations.

The best option is to ignore and close all web pages opened by the ilo134ulih[.]com address.

Rogue and other untrustworthy websites are often opened by PUAs that are installed on users' computers/operating systems or browsers. PUAs cause unwanted redirects, serve intrusive, deceptive ads and gather data. Generally, they are advertised as 'useful', but in fact serve just one purpose: to generate revenue for the developers. They deliver no real value for regular users.

How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?

Most PUAs are distributed through a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". Typically, developers use bundling to trick people into downloading and installing PUAs with other, regular software. They hide information regarding the inclusion of PUAs in "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings/options of the download/installation set-ups.

Therefore, users who skip set-up steps without carefully studying all options can often install PUAs inadvertently. In other cases, unwanted downloads/installations occur when deceptive ads are clicked and then execute scripts designed to download and install PUAs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Download and install software with care. Do not download or install from unofficial/untrustworthy websites, using Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients, eMule and so on, various third party downloaders/installers, etc. The safest download sources are official pages and direct download links.

Furthermore, download/install software properly. Check "Custom", "Advanced" settings of any setup and opt-out of bundled potentially unwanted apps. Note, intrusive ads cannot be trusted. Most redirect to untrustworthy websites, usually relating to gambling, pornography, adult dating, and so on.

If you encounter these redirects or unwanted ads appear regularly, uninstall all unwanted/unknown applications such as plug-ins, extensions, and add-ons from the browser and programs from the operating system. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate them.
