How to remove Olpair.com (OpenLoad.co)

What is Olpair.com

Olpair.com is domain, that belongs to OpenLoad.co – legitimate online cloud hosting service. According to our research, problems with ads, pop-ups and redirects related to Olpair.com come from Kodi Player. Kodi Player is multi-platform media player with access to huge database of movies, music, pictures and TV and radio streaming services. This player uses OpenLoad.co resources and, in exchange for free 4 hours streaming, redirects user’s browsers to Olpair.com (or OpenLoad.co/pair). In pursuit of profit, and wanting to “squeeze all the juice” on ads revenue OpenLoad.co generates numerous ads, pop-ups and redirects during one session. The quality of these advertisements is poor and sometimes is on the verge of outright scam and fraud. Although, Kodi is quite useful, we recommend you to uninstall it, as a first step to remove Olpair.com pop-ups from browsers. For your information, Kodi is also known for spreading crypto-mining software as its add-on. Such malware uses CPU or GPU power of your devices to mine cryptocurrency for third-parties.

As we said, Olpair.com ads are, in most cases, related to Kodi Player. However, sometimes we get complains from users of Pluto TV and other services using cloud hosting similar to Kodi. If you struggle to detect the source of infection, please, use SpyHunter 5 or Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, that are able to remove Olpair.com and protect your PC from threats like this one in the future.
