Does the Tuniaf.com website appear on a daily basis? The presence of this page is a bad sign. A sign that your browser has been infected by a nasty adware-related parasite. Adware is designed to create revenue for the hackers behind it, as well as for the sponsored pages it will promote. This happens through generating multiple intrusive adverts in different forms like pop-ups, in-text, banners and blinking messages.
The more ads it displays on its victim’s screen, the better the chance of them getting clicked. In order to be even more certain that the advertisements will be as attractive as possible to the user, the malicious parasite will steal their web data such as but not limited to browsing history, habits and search queries. This information will help the adware in its task to provide targeted ad content that the user will be more likely to click on. And that’s not all that adware is capable of. It can also install questionable extensions, add-ons, toolbars and other apps on your browsers, without your knowledge and consent.
Adware is most commonly spread through spam email messages, email attachments and executable files, fake update requests, software bundles, torrent files and infected links and ads. This malicious parasite relies on your negligence, so it can slip on your computer and wreak havoc. That’s right. Adware cannot hack its way on your cyber machine alone. It needs your permission to do so. And that can happen easier than you think.
Users often don’t pay close attention to what they click on while on the web. That’s the kind of behavior that hackers rely on. Be smarter. Be extra cautious when you are browsing the internet. Steer clear of any suspiciously looking ads and links. Update your software only via official and licensed sources, do not just blindly trust the first pop-up that appears on your screen, urging you to follow a dubious update link.
We also advise you to select a custom setup mode when installing software, so no additional software can get past you without your knowledge. If you see any optional installations, it is always better to opt out of them all, since they most likely are malicious software in disguise.
Adware is oftentimes underestimated. After all, what damage could advertisements do? Well, you’d be surprised. But it’s best if you don’t find out the true capabilities of such nasty parasite. The more you prolong its stay, the worse the consequences will get. You’ll start experiencing a significant drop in your internet speed and overall performance of your browser. The former will get so overloaded with promoted content, that it won’t be able to run normally, resulting in its frequent crashes and freezes. At some point, it might even stop working altogether.
By keeping this adware on your computer you put your online privacy in jeopardy. Secure your personal and financial information, before it falls into the hands of cyber crooks that want to steal this data and sell it to other questionable third-parties. Return your browser into its normal secure and ad-free state! Act against this Tuniaf.com adware before it is too late!
