Research shows that one of the websites that olaldo[.]com opens is a lottery scam. Typically, scammers behind websites of this type seek to trick visitors into paying fees (so that they can supposedly claim prizes) or providing personal details. Never trust these sites, especially when they are opened through web pages such as olaldo[.]com.
Furthermore, olaldo[.]com opens a deceptive web page that encourages visitors to update Fake Flash Player by downloading a file, which supposedly installs a new version. In most cases, these 'installers' install browser hijackers, adware and other potentially unwanted applications.
They might also install malicious software such as a Trojan, ransomware, or other high-risk malware.
By installing software downloaded through unofficial web pages that claim to update/install legitimate software (such as Adobe Flash Player), people risk problems relating to browsing safety, privacy or even more serious issues such as identity theft, monetary and data loss, and so on.
Another page opened when olaldo[.]com is visited is loading-wsite[.]com. Typically, websites of this type redirect visitors to other untrustworthy pages or load dubious content. They often trick visitors into allowing display of notifications. For example, they ask visitors to prove that they are not robots by clicking the "Allow" button.
If clicked, the gives the rogue web page permission to show notifications. Typically, the notifications contain deceptive, untrustworthy ads, links to dubious pages, and so on.
Furthermore, olaldo[.]com also asks permission to show notifications. It deceives visitors into allowing notifications by suggesting that they are able to continue browsing it if they click the "Allow" button.
These are the type of websites that were opened by olaldo[.]com during research, however, it might also open other untrustworthy sites. In any case, neither olaldo[.]com nor any pages that it opens can be trusted.

Some examples of other web pages that operate like olaldo[.]com include budscanner[.]com and yourmobistyle[.]com. If a browser opens these pages automatically, it is probably due to a PUA installed on the browser or operating system. Note that people often download and install PUAs unintentionally.
How did adware install on my computer?
In most cases, people download and install apps of this kind by clicking dubious, deceptive ads that execute certain scripts, or when software developers distribute them using the "bundling" method. This deceptive marketing method is used to trick people into downloading and/or installing PUAs with other software.
In most cases, unwanted apps are included into the download/installation set-ups of other programs. Offers to download or install PUAs are hidden in "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings of the set-ups. People commonly allow PUAs to be downloaded and/or installed when they leave the settings unchecked and unchanged.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
We recommend that you use only official websites and direct links to download files or programs. It is not safe to use third party downloaders/installers, eMule, torrent clients (and other Peer-to-Peer networks), unofficial sites or other sources/channels to download or install software.
Install software properly. Check all "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings available in download or installation setups. Dismiss any offers to download or install unwanted software. Note that intrusive ads (especially those displayed on dubious pages) often redirect people to potentially malicious websites or download/install unwanted apps.
Therefore, do not trust or click these ads. If the browser already displays unwanted ads and/or opens dubious pages, it can be prevented by uninstalling all unwanted extensions, plug-ins and add-ons.
Also remove programs of this type from the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
