iLotto Removal Guide

Would you be willing to install a program in order to win prizes? iLotto is a program that promises to make it easier for you to win prizes, and you need to install it onto your operating system or the Google Chrome browser (as an extension) in order to initiate the registration process. The official website of this suspicious program is ilotto.com, and it initially presents a registration form. If you enter your email address and choose a password, you are then routed to a page asking to download the software. After this, you are asked to disclose your home address, telephone number, full name, email address, and other personally-identifiable information. Unfortunately, some computer users disclose this information without even suspecting a risk because they are convinced that their contact information is required to receive prizes. Well, this is one of the reasons to delete iLotto.

The suspicious iLotto will collect information about you for what appears to be a necessary step in receiving prizes. The problem is that this program is highly suspicious and unpredictable, and there are no guarantees that your personal data is safe. In order to learn more about this, we have analyzed the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy documents associated with this program. This document reveals that the developer of this program is Chestbox Limited, and it is not the only suspicious company involved. Are you familiar with Yippex Ltd.? This company supposedly manages the payments for the premium membership service that, as we learned, costs 19.99 USD/CAD/EUR/GBP per month. If you follow the regular registration process, you will not be informed of this premium membership; however, it is possible that you will be approached with this offer later on. Whatever you do, do not pay money for this strange service!

The Privacy Policy of iLotto has revealed to us that information about you can be shared with third parties. Needless to say, these parties are not disclosed, which makes them highly unpredictable and unreliable. Besides the fact that these unknown parties can get information about you, they are also permitted to use their own tracking cookies as well as display advertisements. Due to this, we classify iLotto as an advertising-supported program. Although the ads and offers shown to you might be very attractive, you must keep in mind that tracking cookies are installed to spy on you, and even misleading, malicious content could hide behind attractive deals. Unfortunately, there are malicious parties who use adware to introduce users to scams and malware, which is why it is crucial to be careful when interacting with ads. In fact, we do not recommend interacting with them at all.

Do you think that iLotto increases the chances of you winning prizes? Although this program promotes a $ 1,000,000 sweepstake every week, you cannot trust it. It is most likely that this prize is completely bogus; otherwise, this sweepstake would be popular, and many people all around the world would be participating. According to the data on the Chrome web store, where this suspicious adware is promoted to the Chrome users (at chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ilotto/gnbjeienaoekfiebaefhlhjagbbkmmok), it has over 3000 users. Does this look like a popular tool? Of course it is not. So, how is it getting the funds to provide a million dollar prizes every week? Clearly, this is a scam, and you need to remove iLotto as soon as possible. Hopefully, you have not been tricked into subscribing to the so-called “premium membership” services; however, if you have, we suggest calling your bank to terminate the transactions and report a scam. You also need to take measures to protect the data that you have shared while registering, as this data could be used to scam you in the future.

The iLotto folder holds all of the files of this unpredictable, ad-supported program, including, uninstall.exe and uninstall.exe.config. These are the files that you need to eliminate from your computer, and we have prepared a guide that will help you do that. Keep in mind that this adware is also compatible with the Chrome installer, which is why we have also added the instructions showing how to eliminate the unwanted Chrome extensions. One more thing we need to discuss is third-party malware. According to our expert malware researchers, this adware might travel packaged with other programs, and their removal might be important as well. Considering that your operating system is currently vulnerable, we believe that it is best for you to install anti-malware software that could eliminate existing threats automatically (including adware) and provide reliable protection.
