Although LeadingVideos is a desktop application that claims to enable you to watch viral videos and funny movies, unfortunately, we have found that this is just another ad-supported program that may put your virtual security at risk. You may not be able to watch any videos but, instead, you will be shown potentially harmful web content and third-party advertisements. Keeping this adware on your computer may lead to various levels of security-related issues. But the presence of this application may also indicate that there are other infections on your system. Therefore, we advise you to remove LeadingVideos as soon as possible and identify all other potential threats as well. Leaving any infection or unwanted programs on your PC could lead to more problems than you can handle yourself. Please read our full description to find out more about this risky application and how you can protect your computer.
When it comes to this adware you cannot even trust its own official webpage. We do not advise you to visit leadingvideos.com because this site is flagged and blocked by security tools. However, if you are infected with this adware, chances are you do not have proper protection on your PC. As a matter of fact, our tool detected an HTML/ScrInject.B Trojan upon loading this site. That is rarely the sign of a legitimate or reliable application. What’s more, the official installer you can download from this page actually contains other malicious software installers, including Search Know, Sweet-page.com, and MyPcBackUp. This clearly means that when you install this program, you may allow other adware programs, browser hijackers as well as potentially unwanted programs onto your system. This is rather suspicious behavior and should be enough for any security-minded computer user to want to delete LeadingVideos right now. After downloading the installer the page will redirect to lamphouseoffers.com/redirect.php?sid=BMS&message=Please%20wait. The browser may also open casino, survey, and offer webpages, which seems to depend on your region.
But this is not even the most probable way for this useless program to show up on your computer. It is more likely that you click on malicious download offers or even altered search results to download this adware. If this is how this adware landed on your PC, there is a good chance that your computer had been infected with adware or browser hijackers, which are capable of modifying search results to include promoted affiliated parties’ ads and links. There is also a slight chance that you let this adware on board via freeware bundles. All in all, you have to be careful with visiting unfamiliar and questionable file-sharing websites, and not to click on any random third-party ads. With this, you may be able to prevent a number of threats from entering your computer. If you are not sure how this infection may have infiltrated your system, we advise you to run a full-system malware scan to detect all present threats right after you remove LeadingVideos, of course.
When you run this application, it opens on the desktop in its own GUI (Graphical User Interface) and puts its logo in the top-left corner. It loads leadingvideos.com/redir.php, which redirects right away to en.savefrom.net. This site hosts potentially harmful third-party ads and we recommend that you do not engage with this page for your own protection. This adware may also open an Internet Explorer window with various offers, such as panelbucks.com/index.html?s1=427&s2=305387-LVD%3a%3a&a=427&s=305387-LVD%3a%3a. Clicking on any content this ad-supported program offers can be risky since you may end up on unsafe websites. This can mean downloading more infections or even being scammed by criminals. If you do not want to experience any of the potentially harmful scenarios, you need to act now and delete LeadingVideos.
There is at least one good thing we can mention about this software and that is its uninstaller. After careful testing we can say that you can use this uninstaller and it will clear up all the mess after itself leaving no leftovers. All you need to do is locate it in the installed programs list in Control Panel and activate it. We have included the necessary steps for you below if you need any assistance. Please remember that this may not be the end of the road towards destination “Virtual Security.” Unfortunately, there may be other malware threats endangering your operating system. That is why we believe that you would be better off installing a reputable anti-malware application that could safeguard your PC from any malicious attacks.
