If you somehow ended up with Tune Junkies on board, it doesn’t really come as shocking news that you want to get rid of it. Why so? Because, as you’re soon to be convinced, this is a highly intrusive, utterly useless and incredibly dangerous PC parasite that categorically doesn’t belong on your machine. Now, according to its developers, Tune Junkies allows you to “get access to the latest music from around the web”. However, according to out research team and every PC user who has ever had to deal with its sneaky ways, this is a potentially unwanted adware virus. It only allows you to get access to various kinds of malware as it bombards you with an impressively rich bouquet of malicious pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, interstitials, video ads, etc. till the unpleasant moment when you can barely even see the website you’re currently visiting. Unfortunately, the manipulations of Tune Junkies are just getting started. Apart from constantly annoying you and flooding your PC screen with potentially dangerous (not to mention, absolutely worthless) web links, the virus also monitors your browsing-related activities and sends all the data collected straight to crooks. How uncomfortable exactly are you feeling knowing that your browsing history, search queries, IP addresses, email addresses, passwords and usernames are into the greedy hands of unscrupulous cyber criminals? In addition, due to the parasite’s malicious presence your PC speed will be inevitably slowed down so using your very own machine will become more of a hassle and less of a fun experience. Remember that Tune Junkies was originally created to bring crooks illegal revenue, NOT to enhance your browsing experience. You don’t have to test the limits of your patience; instead, proceed to removing the parasite. The sooner you get rid of it, the better for your machine, your cyber security and your privacy.

Trust us when we say, tolerating it is simply not worth the risk.

How did I get infected with?

Adware-type programs in general and Tune Junkies in particular usually travel the Web using deceptive and secretive techniques. That means if you encounter this parasite’s sneaky presence on your machine, you probably don’t remember the exact moment when you installed it. Viruses don’t tend to ask for permission simply because they don’t need it. The most popular infiltration method at the moment is called “freeware bundling” so if you’re careless enough, you will install the parasite alongside the legitimate programs that you wanted. Cyber infections are masters in the art of deceit – make sure you remember it. Next time you download questionable software from questionable websites, make sure you’ve selected the advanced or custom option beforehand. This way you will remain in control of the programs that land on your computer because, as you can see, it’s a very easy task for hackers to attach some nasty parasite to the freeware/shareware bundle. The problem is, though, Tune Junkies isn’t the only parasite that uses this stealthy distribution method; Trojans and ransomware apply the same technique. Therefore, you only need about as much as one single moment of negligence when installing software to get your machine infested with cyber viruses. Is that what you want? Make sure you pay enough attention to the software that you give green light to and don’t hesitate to deselect any suspicious program that is trying to sneak in behind your back.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The presence of Tune Junkies  cannot remain unnoticed for too long so at least you will realize relatively quickly that your PC has been infected. However, the good news concerning this nuisance of a program are pretty much about to end here. After it manages to land on your machine, Tune Junkies starts wreaking havoc almost immediately and the first ones to experience its manipulations are your browsers. Yes, all of them. The parasite works just fine with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer so thanks to the malicious extension Tune Junkies installs, all three will be injected with commercials. As mentioned before, those ads are incredibly annoying and stubborn so the only way to get rid of them is by deleting the parasite itself. Remember, clicking anything brought to you by Tune Junkies would be a very bad move because all coupons, discounts, best deals, best prices and price comparisons generated by the parasite are sponsored and very unreliable. You might either end up on some highly questionable website filled with malware or you could get involved in some devious cyber scam and lose money without receiving anything in exchange. Does that sound fair to you? You should also be interested to know that all the personal information collected by the virus goes straight to crooks. They usually sell your stolen (and no longer private) data to third parties and gain revenue solely at your expense. Frankly speaking, Tune Junkies gives you many reasons to delete it and not a single one to keep tolerating its shenanigans.
