Favor1t.com

If your favored Web browser is Mozilla Firefox or Chrome, you can start seeing numerous pop-ups with the message “If you’re 18+ tap Allow,” which are being displayed by a website named Favor1t.com. The pop-ups that come from this website are misleading messages, which tries to convince the computer users to make a subscription to the Favor1t.com website and allow it to display whatever it pleases on their desktops. Then, Favor1t.com will flood the computer users' screen with advertisements that are intended to induce the computer user to download false updates or buy a software that will not provide what it promises, such a fake security program. If you are wondering why is this occurring, the explanation is that you had allowed the installation of adware on your machine when you visited a compromised website, clicked on a corrupted advertisement or downloaded a freeware that had the adware bundled with its installation.

Although not considered harmful, the actions performed by adware-laced programs may not please the computer user, and this is why security experts recommend their removal from an affected machine. The removal of adware is not a hard task. However, if you want to be sure that all the traces of it have been eliminated, an anti-malware tool can remove it easy and safely.
