The Fuq.com virus is an adware-type of program that promotes websites with pornographic content. The advertising campaigns of this Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) are very aggressive. They force their victims to view the suspicious content of the promoted pages by displaying relevant advertisements, banners or videos on the infected devices. The Fuq.com virus falls under the Mac viruses category and may cause many cybersecurity issues because of the content it pushes – pornographic websites often lead users to other unsafe websites, trigger malware downloads, or trick users into installing potentially harmful applications and tools.
This Mac virus can be found on all popular browsers, including Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge, whereby some typical symptoms will indicate its presence. The Fuq.com virus modifies the browser's homepage, search provider, and new tab page, replacing them with 'fuq.com.' As a result, each time affected users open their browser, fuq.com is loaded, and its offensive content for adults is displayed. This PUP also generates vast amounts of intrusive advertisements and banners, offers participation in fake online quizzes to win attractive prizes, or urges victims to install other rogue applications and visit phishing pages. These actions may lead to the user's data leakage, monetary losses, subscriptions to useless paid services, and other undesired outcomes eventually.
Fuq.com virus spreads through corrupted websites and advertisements, as well as other PUPs already installed on a computer. For the highest efficiency, we recommend the removal of this threat through an automatic malware removal tool.
