Euluckyday Virus

Euluckyday

Euluckyday is a type of rogue promotional software for Android smartphones and tablets that constantly tries to put ads on the screen and generate automatic page-redirects. If Euluckyday is on your device, it may potentially put the device at risk and should therefore be uninstalled.

Euluckyday is different from more serious software threats like Ransomware, Rootkits, or Trojans, but it should still not be underestimated. Apps like this one are known as browser hijackers and their main target is the browsers on your device. They can fully take over them, change the default new-tab page, monitor your searches, open sudden page-redirects, and collect browsing data that would later be used for displaying targeted advertisements. While none of these activities are likely to directly harm the device, it is definitely possible that they could make it more exposed to hacker attacks.

To add to that, it is common for Euluckyday2022 to acquire lots of different privileges in the system in order to gain persistence and to control and/or monitor what’s happening on the device. Euluckyday2022 may even install additional unwanted apps in the device without the user’s consent.

Considering everything we’ve said thus far, it should be apparent that your best option if you currently have Euluckyday is to delete it ASAP.

Future precautions

We will help you uninstall Euluckyday through the guide we’ve added below, but you must also remember to keep other similar hijackers away from your smart device in the future. The best advice we can give you for that is to avoid downloading apps from untrusted sources. It’s best to stick to the Google Play Store and even then research the apps that you want before you actually download them in order to find out if there’s anything potentially unwanted about them.

Step3

Restart your Browser. It might be a good idea to Reboot your Android device, just in case.

  • Important!

If you are still seeing Ads in your browser, it is likely they are generated by the websites you visit and there is nothing you can do about it.

However, if you are seeing Adverts outside of your internet browser, then one of your installed Apps contains the problematic Adware. In this case you need to take a look at this guide.
