What is Leadtrack.pro? And how does it work?

Leadtrack.pro is a shady website that initiates browser redirects to other equally shady web pages. You can inadvertently visit this domain when you click ads online. Once you’re on this shady web page, it will initiate several redirects in a rotation that would eventually lead to unfamiliar websites. According to researchers, these annoying redirects are closely associated with a company called “LeadTrack”, claiming to be a “unique company offering sales lead management”. In addition, this company also claims to double both their customers’ and partners’ sales using a “simple, affordable and custom application software solutions”. Even though both marketing and online advertising are legal and means of increasing revenue, some cyber crooks take advantage of it and tend to display more ads than necessary just for the sake of profit – such as the case of Leadtrack.pro which is why it is categorized as both an adware program and a potentially unwanted one.
When you click on any content on this suspicious domain, it triggers new tab URL which would redirect you to multiple domain where you could find promotion about certain software or software update or even alerts that tells you your computer is infected with some virus. This is some of the things that make Leadtrack.pro somewhat dangerous to users as it poses risks to the infected computer. So if you keep having redirects to this shady domain, there must be some adware program installed on your computer that you need to get rid of to completely remove Leadtrack.pro.
How does Leadtrack.pro circulate the web?
Leadtrack.pro circulates the web via misleading ads on suspicious sites. And as mentioned, it could also be triggered by an ad-supported program installed in the system. These ad-supported programs circulate the web via software bundles you commonly find on free sharing sites. Installing these kinds of packages is quite tricky as you might end up installing all the programs in the bundle, unwanted ones included. This is why you need to opt for the Custom or Advanced setup whenever you install software bundles.
