What is Livesport.ws?
Browsing the web is not always a safe activity, especially if you come across Livesport.ws, an adware server that has been found to redirect people to livesport365.ws. What is wrong with redirecting? If it is unauthorized, people might be redirected against their will. Furthermore, the websites to which the server might redirect to could be unreliable. That appears to be the case with livesport365.ws. Although this website might offer useful information to some of its visitors regarding sports and results, it was found by our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team that it could present links that lead to unreliable websites as well. In one case, the website offered a link to an illegal gambling website, access to which was automatically blocked by the web browser. Unfortunately, not all web browsers have such security mechanisms, and so interacting with the content shown on the website could, potentially, be risky. Of course, in this report, we focus on showing you how to remove Livesport.ws components.
How does Livesport.ws work?
At this point, we do not know of any specific programs or applications that would redirect users to Livesport.ws and the associated websites. Therefore, it does not look like people getting redirected to this adware server necessarily need to worry about the removal of threats. Of course, unrelated threats could always exist, and you should not ignore them. To expose people to Livesport.ws, the party behind it is likely to employ online advertising. For example, buttons and ads hiding hyperlinks could be placed on certain websites for a certain fee or perhaps even for free. Needless to say, you are unlikely to face such covert links on reliable websites. Instead, they are likely to be placed on websites that already have a bad reputation and whose outlook towards virtual security matches that of the party behind the adware server. If we look at livesport365.ws, it presents information for the fans of football, hockey, basketball, tennis, and American football. It also presents betting statistics. Furthermore, it displays ads for betting websites. Therefore, you could be redirected to it via gambling or betting-related sites.
Unreliable gaming websites, illegal movie streaming platforms, and sites that present adult content could also present ads or hide hyperlinks that enable redirecting via Livesport.ws to third-party sites. If you interact with these redirects, advertisements, and websites, you could end up inviting web cookies and other data-tracking tools that can gather information not only about your browsing activity but also about your browser, your operating system, or even you personally. Another risk you face when visiting unreliable websites is that they can expose you to unwanted notifications. Do you remember allowing notifications from an unfamiliar website? If you do, this might be the reason why you keep seeing ads associated with Livesport.ws. The good news is that you can disable notifications, and it does not even require much experience or knowledge. If that is not an issue that you need to deal with, all that you might need to do is try to stay away from unreliable websites.
How to remove Livesport.ws advertisements
If Livesport.ws-related pop-ups/advertisements keep appearing on your screen, it is possible that you might need to delete unwanted notifications from your browser. The guides below explain how to do that on Chrome and Firefox browsers. If you are dealing with the same issue on a different browser, post a comment below, and we will add the instructions you need. If your issue is associated with your own behavior (i.e., you keep visiting websites that redirect or show unreliable redirecting ads), you should check what websites you should forget about. Even if you faced the suspicious adware server once, it is possible that you now need to delete some components. You can delete Livesport.ws-related browsing data using the guides below. We specifically recommend clearing cookies, cache, and browsing history, but it might be time you clear your browsing data fully. This is something we recommend doing from time to time. If all fails, and redirecting goes out of hand, perhaps it might be best to implement anti-malware software that could delete malicious components and, hopefully, restore order.
