Numerous threats from lijit.com

Hello Kyla,

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
We will check and help you with this issue.
We block the whole IP because it serves as an adware C2 server for “lijit.com” which is a browser hijacker, generating the sequence of intrusive ads practically into all the genuine websites you visit.

Lijit hijacker should be either an installed software so complete scan of the PC should help or it can be installed as a browser extension. Alternatively you should be able to manually uninstall the program via settings.
We have sent you an email asking you to connect to our AVG free remote technician and please reply to that email for further assistance.
Thank you.

Hi!

Like quite a few other people, I am reporting numerous threat warnings from lijit.com. Sometimes it is ce.lijit.com and other times ap.lijit.com. It happens on many different websites that are trustworthy, on Chrome and Firefox on multiple computers, and has been occurring for several days.

Is this a false positive? An infected ad network? Some other issue?

Please can someone let us know what is going on? The pervasiveness of this problem suggests it is on AVG's end, not ours.
