What is Lasaoren.com?

The Lasaoren browser toolbar claims to enhance users' Internet browsing experience by allowing immediate access to various social networking websites (for example, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and improving the quality of Internet search results.

Although this browser plug-in may seem to deliver legitimate and useful functionality, be aware that it is categorized as a browser hijacker or redirect virus.

This association is made since Lasaoren.com employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to install on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome) without users' consent.

This browser extension is developed by a company called ironSource. While this added functionality may seem legitimate and useful, many computer users refer to Vosteran as a redirect virus or a browser hijacker.

These associations are made since the vosteran.com website is promoted via free software downloads using a software distribution (marketing) method called 'bundling'. The Vosteran toolbar is installed on browsers during download or installation of legitimate free software using 'download clients' or 'installers'.
