The Fun4us program has versions for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that are used by adware developers to promote sponsored products and services and earn pay-per-click revenue. The modus operandi of Fun4us provides evidence for security experts to classify Fun4us as adware. The Fun4us adware acts similarly to SensePlus, Deal Finder and Winter Web that are known to prevent users from enjoying the Internet. The Fun4us adware is dispersed among computer users by using freeware setup files as vessels. You might want to use the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option the next time you install a free application in order to avoid installing the Fun4us adware on your PC. Users infected with the Fun4us adware report a torrent of commercials in their web browser, and you may be provided with links to potentially harmful locations. Security experts note that the Fun4us adware might display pop-up windows, banners and ad boxes that may cover your browser surface. Moreover, the Fun4us adware may use tracking cookies and DOM storage data to generate tailor-suited ads. Web surfers that value their online privacy might wish to use a reputable anti-malware tool to remove the Fun4us adware from their machine.
