Olpair occasionally referred to as Openload.co Pair is a pop-up virus attributed to the amount of Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP) that install on your PC without your knowledge. The virus can install by itself on your browser, either as an extension or as notification.
Therefore, if you notice your browser showing multiple pop-ups and notifications for adverts – there’s a good chance your PC is already under the Olpair virus attack.
In most instances, Olpair virus comes bundled with free programs that you download from the internet. The virus ships with archives, audio players, and other software utilities that you download on various download managers, as well as on web clients – which mostly carry additional malware.
