Free Live Cricket Links – please infect me with viruses

In response to emails we received from thankful members we decided to make a page dedicated to help warn our fellow cricket lovers about some “free live cricket links” websites.

g

We understand that not everybody is willing or able to pay for premium cricket live streams and is always in search of FREE live cricket links.

Sadly during the search the cricket lover will come across many sites that will infect you computer with malware,viruses and ad aware.

In most cases the “free cricket links” are not free cricket links at all but will turn out more expensive and time consuming than any premium cricket streaming you could order from us or any other legit cricket streaming provider.

That is not to say there are no real free live cricket links but they are very rare or have very low quality.

there are few kinds of “free cricket links”

1) free cricket links provided as demo

these are just what they sound like, – Try before Buy- they are provided as a demo, usually limited to under 10min or a 1 match viewing or showing other streams to interested cricket lovers in order to help the potential customer get the feel for the quality and service they can expect if they decide to place order for live cricket streaming. Other instances can be free live cricket streaming as we sometimes provide to repeat customers, as a thank you – or if we feel some of our members in extreme financial hardship and really would love to see specific cricket streaming we would provide free cricket to those if our resources allow so. Additionally you may find many P2P (peek to peek) cricket links, but often they will have much lower quality streaming an require you to download and install third party software, mostly from asia, that can be bloated with advertisement and sometimes malware/viruses.

2) free live cricket links shared by people who ordered premium cricket streaming

these are cricket links posted on blogs,forums, social media sites or shared via email by people who actually purchased a premium cricket streaming service. As all legit cricket streaming providers will limit access to streams those “free cricket links” will not last long and usually work from a single IP. As soon as provider notices sharing violation the customers access and link will be stopped.

3) free live cricket links that will Infect your computer

Sadly these are most common “free cricket links”. From our member feedback at least 80% have encountered hardship and have been at some point infected by viruses or malware when they visited “free cricket links” sites. These are sites who in many cases will create site around cricket streaming,place few video players and fill the site with annoying and very dangerous advertisement. Many such site owners understand economic trouble and will play on the “free” card to exploit cricket lovers.

Warning sings and Prevention

- be careful with sites hosted on free hosting,

mostly the urls (domains) will be something like myscricketfreelinks.blogspot.com or similar where the site is not hosted

on own server but on sites offering free blogs or forums.

- be careful if you encounter sites bloated with ads

here is a screen shot of one of those sites, notice the red squares – those are all ads

g

What is worst than ads on the site are hidden scripts, viruses and malware running in the background – read on

- be careful on sites asking you to install third party video player or software in order to watch “free cricket links”
- use firewall and trusted virus software that includes anti malware,adaware and anti browser hijack

Most Importantly – DO Not CLICK on ad pop up !

In order to be infected with a virus you have to perform an action to install the virus. Most common way to get a virus / malware is by clicking on a POP UP ad.
here is a screenshot of one such ad !
g
NOTICE the Pop Up pretending to say you are infected !

As a matter of fact that is the infection. If you click on it – either “OK” or try to Close it – you will install malware on your computer !

So Do Not Click ON anything – Popping UP !!

- you also will notice the entire browser will be disabled or minimized except the popup

What to do than ?
open your task manager and close the browser using Task Manager – again never click on the

What would happen if I clicked it ?

if you would click such and ad on “free cricket links” site you in fact would have installed the virus !
just seconds after you clicked on it you would notice another Fake screen !

A fake Virus scan will be performed showing you ton of “viruses” to be removed (see screen shot below). In reality the program is not scanning your computer for viruses but rather for personal and financial information like emails,names,bank accounts,passwords and more. Another purpose is to get you to really order their “anti virus program” which you should never do. It will just give them your real credit card numbers.

g
- you also will notice fake anti virus software icons in your taskbar (where your clock is displayed) – do not click on any of it.

Other symptoms will include – slower computer, disabled firewalls and security software, sometimes the desktop wal paper will disappear.

if you are infected with such a virus we strongly recommend using a proven removal tool like malwarebytes.org – and doing proper research on removal action. You should disable internet access on infected computer (virus will try to send your personal information),temporary stop system restore(virus will try to install itself on previous restore points)

if you have any comments or experience you be live to be beneficent to follow cricket lovers please let us know, will gladly share it with the community.

we hope to have been able to raise little more awareness about the dangers at looking for free live cricket links.
