If your web browser is constantly being redirected to the lhr.perspexraiser.com site, then it is possible that you have an adware program installed on your computer.
This lhr.perspexraiser.com redirect is usually caused by adware installed on your computer. These adware programs are bundled with other free software that you download off of the Internet. Unfortunately, some free downloads do not adequately disclose that other software will also be installed and you may find that you have installed adware without your knowledge.
Once this malicious program is installed, whenever you will browse the Internet, an ad from lhr.perspexraiser.com will randomly pop-up. These ads are aimed to promote the installation of additional questionable content including web browser toolbars, optimization utilities and other products, all so the adware publisher can generate pay-per-click revenue.
You may also see in the browser status bar the following messages: “Waiting for lhr.perspexraiser.com”, “Transferring data from lhr.perspexraiser.com”, “Looking up lhr.perspexraiser.com”, “Read lhr.perspexraiser.com”, “Connected to lhr.perspexraiser.com”.
When infected with this adware program, other common symptoms include:
- Advertising banners are injected with the web pages that you are visiting.
- Random web page text is turned into hyperlinks.
- Browser popups appear which recommend fake updates or other software.
- Other unwanted adware programs might get installed without the user’s knowledge.
Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.
