About Fun4us adware

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or even Safari. This means Apple users can be infected as well. Even though this application is described as useful tool that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various deals, coupons and commercial offers, this is not true. The problem is all those offers come in annoying manner of web advertisements. Those ads can be displayed in all kinds of forms, including pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement can be opened on your  web browser at any time as well.

If you click on one of advertisements displayed by Fun4us, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by various cyber criminals, such as scammers or hackers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money this way.

That’s because Fun4us is like advertising network for cyber criminals – since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to promote their products and drive some traffic to their websites. This being said, if you keep Fun4us installed on your computer, various cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.

Distribution Methods of Fun4us adware

You can get infected with Fun4us simply by downloading and installing some freeware from unreliable websites. For example, when you download and install some free media player or PDF generator, there is a chance that Fun4us will be installed alongside without even warning you about that. That’s why you should always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware if you want to avoid this happening.

Never skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This way you will be able to see all available options and make needed changes. Don’t rush because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside – don’t allow this installation to be completed because it can possibly be Fun4us or any other adware.
