What is Lucid Movies?

Lucid Movies is an application that should allow users to watch movies and TV shows for free straight from your computer. It is said that it is very easy to use the program – a user just needs to find a video and then press Play. Even though Lucid Movies seems to be an extremely beneficial program, we cannot call it like that because it is classified as an ad-supported program (adware) by many specialists (including those researchers working at anti-spyware-101.com). You should never keep untrustworthy programs installed because they usually act in an undesirable way and might put systems into danger. Lucid Movies is no exception; it might perform undesirable activities, e.g. redirect users to other web pages and it might even expose them to potential threats. We are sure that you do not want to cause harm to your computer, so we suggest that you hurry to get rid of Lucid Movies. In order to help you with the removal process, we have also placed the manual removal instructions below this article. test test

How does Lucid Movies act?

Lucid Movies does not do anything very beneficial. If you double-click on its shortcut, you will notice that it opens its window; however, it presents the content of crackle.com/movies in it. In other words, the application immediately redirects users to another web page and does not do anything else. It has been also observed that this application might redirect users to interest4.valuedinformation.com/numbers/?t=5&c1=RDLMV&u=&im= immediately after it is installed on the system. This web page usually presents people with various offers. Of course, there is a slight possibility that users will see offers and other commercial advertisements while surfing the web as well because Lucid Movies is known to be an advertising-supported application. If this really happens, you should ignore ads and do not click on them for the sake of your system’s safety.

Advertising-supported applications not only show commercial advertisements, but might also gather information about computer users too because it needs data to be able to provide them with the content based on their interests. In case of Lucid Movies, this program is going to record IP address, information about the computer itself, the websites a user visits mainly, ads he/she usually clicks on, and other details associated with a user’s activities on the web. There is a slight possibility that all this information will be transferred to third parties too. You should know that this might result in the violation of your privacy. Thus, it would be best to get rid of Lucid Movies as soon as possible.

It seems that this application will not only show advertisements and gather the information about users, but will also add its folder LucidMovies in %PROGRAMFILES% or %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%. In addition, the application will create several registry keys, e.g. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\DOMStorage\LucidMovies.com and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{A5C7D8E1-F253-4290-BC95-58FD0AD9FD71}_is1. You can find them if you access the Registry Editor. Actually, you might detect more than one new folder on your computer because Lucid Movies usually enters systems together with other untrustworthy programs, mainly adware, potentially unwanted programs, browser hijackers, and other applications. Find and remove them all from your system as well.
