The Lpmxp2087.com is both a browser hijacker and an adware. It attaches itself to your Internet browser and changes browser settings, like the homepage and it redirects you upon opening new tabs. It also constantly shows annoying pop-up ads that want you to install other malicious applications. It is considered dangerous, because it can slow down your internet speed, and may slow down your computer to an almost unusable rate.

Lpmxp2087.com – How did I get it?

The Lpmxp2087.com malware is spread via many various ways and slips into a computer, covertly, without the consent of the user. It often comes bundled with the installation of free software, like video recording/streaming applications, download-managers, PDF creators and other freeware programs. It should be shown under the “Advanced” or “Custom” tab in an installation setup of those programs. Lpmxp2087.com can be installed via toolbars: Sweet-Page Toolbar, Delta Toolbar, and adware, like WebCake, EnhanceTronic, CouponBuddy.

Another effective way of getting your system infected is by having ad-supported software installed or unwanted browser extensions added to the browser that you are using. Especially popular browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer. These browser extensions can generate pop-ups on any website. Other malicious ads can also get you infected even if you do not have installed any ad-supported programs or extensions. Those ads can appear as a pop-up, a pop-under, an additional banner, as an element in a search bar, as an in-text link and etc.
Occasionally, files from social networks and spam emails can also help in the distribution of the malware.

Lpmxp2087.com – More About It

The Lpmxp2087.com malware is a very tricky one. You will notice you have it on your system, due to the constant redirects it makes every single time you try browsing the internet. It can affect any browser. It changes the browser’s homepage and DNS settings, then it constantly redirects to its main domain Lpmxp2087.com or one of many other domains. Those include Lpmxp.com, Lpmxp.2087.com, Lpmxp64.com, Lpmxp5013.com and many other variations, changing the numbers. In this way, it avoids those domains being flagged as malicious URLs.

After that, when the user gets redirected to such a malicious domain, he gets a lot of advertisement pop-ups, which try to insert malicious code, or install malware in the user’s computer. The user is tricked because of the clever way those messages are implemented. They state that an important update is missing from the browser or the browser’s components:

• Flash Player is out of date
• Google Chrome is out of date
• Mozilla Firefox is out of date
• Internet Explorer is out of date
• Critical Updates Required
• Java is out of date
• Video player is out of date

If the user downloads any program from these pop-ups, by clicking on the “Download”, “Run Update” or “Click to install now” button, instead of installing an update, you’ll agree to download an adware or other malicious programs onto your computer. Then, the infection spreads further, causing the attackers to easily violate your privacy and get hold of sensitive data such as credit card details (in order to steal money), the machine’s IP address, and email contacts so it can send spam emails to those contacts. It also may cause your computer to run very slow, reduce the browsing and causes frequent plugin crashes.
The Lpmxp2087.com pop-up advertisements are designed to generate revenue, by tricking users clicking and downloading unwanted applications. Whenever users download and install the software, the owner of the website is paid by different advertisers to promote their products within the installer. It generates web traffic, collects sales leads for other suspicious sites and distributed through various monetization platforms during installation.

• Make sure that your programs have less administrative power over what they read and write on your computer. Make them prompt you admin access before starting.
• Use stronger passwords. Stronger passwords (preferably ones that are not words) are harder to crack by several methods, including brute forcing since it includes pass lists with relevant words.
• Turn off AutoPlay. This protects your computer from malicious executable files on USB sticks or other external memory carriers that are immediately inserted into it.
• Disable File Sharing – it is recommended if you need file sharing between your computer to password protect it to restrict the threat only to yourself if infected.
• Switch off any remote services – this can be devastating for business networks since it can cause a lot of damage on a massive scale.
• If you see a service or a process that is external and not Windows critical and is being exploited by hackers (Like Flash Player) disable it until there is an update that fixes the exploit.
• Make sure always to update the critical security patches for your software and OS.
• Configure your mail server to block out and delete suspicious file attachment containing emails.
• If you have a compromised computer in your network, make sure to isolate immediately it by powering it off and disconnecting it by hand from the network.
• Make sure to educate all of the users on the network never to open suspicious file attachments, show them examples.
• Employ a virus-scanning extension in your browser that will scan all the downloaded files on your computer.
• Turn off any non-needed wireless services, like Infrared ports or Bluetooth – hackers love to use them to exploit devices. In case you use Bluetooth, make sure that you monitor all of the unauthorized devices that prompt you to pair with them and decline and investigate any suspicious ones.
