I heard about website called "Twipu" and I from what I heard it basically site with Twitter statistics. And because of current world events I was curious about it.
When I typed "twipu" in google search Immediately Norton blocked "Malicious Site: Malicious Domain Request 22". Important thing is I did not click any link, but only typed "twipu" in google search
Afraid not, couldn't reproduce that here. Even with my ad blocker fully disabled. So it was probably just a passing issue, like the link/site that was detected as bad no longer exists.
n the Privacy and security section it's called either Use a prediction service to load pages more quickly or Preload pages for faster browsing and searching.
.....and do you see Norton popup immediately after you type "twipu" in Google search? with Preload pages on?

Chrome can look up the IP addresses of all a page's links and cache the ones it thinks you are most likely to navigate to next. With this setting on, websites and any embedded content that are pre-loaded may set and read their own cookies, etc. as if you had visited them, even if you never do. So when Chrome loads search results, it's possible it pre-loads a few pages from those results as a prediction of where you may go next (and therefore setting off Norton if it's bad). Turning this setting off will prevent all the unnecessary background transfer Chrome does as you browse. The perception of any speed gain or loss with this setting is pretty much nil.
I did not expect any block like this at all just by looking for things. Day after I fully scanned my pc with Norton full scan, NPE and Malwarebytes free version, nothing found so far
Like I said I got Norton popup immediately after I typed twipu in google search and I did not click the actual link to the website. Is it possible I downloaded something without going to this site somehow?
You may have picked up a PUP, a Possibly Unwanted Program. While they are annoying, they do not cause damage to your system. Some people actually want the 'Features' offered by these programs. They are usually downloaded alongside a legitimate download when you do not uncheck the option for the additional download.
Norton products concentrate on malware that can damage your system, that is why some PUPs are not detected.
As noted in my post above, this issue is probably some malicious code on a web site you are visiting. Possibly in malformed ads. You can try installing an ad blocker extension in your browser to help protect against this type of redirect/attack.
The instruction to remove Lulachu might have worked, using malwarebytes. I reserve judgement as the attack seem to be at random time. What I really ask myself now, is why I am paying high fee to use Norton and it can't remove malaware that a simple free program can. Why is that not included in Norton? Anyway thanks for your help.
If your web browser is constantly being redirected to the Lulachu.com site, then it is possible that you have adware installed on your computer.
Lulachu.com is part of an advertising service that website publishers use to generate revenue on their sites. Unfortunately, there are some malicious programs that are injecting these Lulachu.com ads on websites you visit without the permission of the publisher in order to generate revenue.
When Lulachu.com redirects a browser to an advertisement, the ads are typically for unwanted chrome extensions, surveys, adult sites, online web games, fake software updates, and unwanted programs.
