How did I get infected with?

Freeware. That’s the most likely reason for you seeing Pushfuns.com all the time. You see, the page pops up, because of the adware behind it. The application is why you get redirected to the page, non-stop. But adware tools don’t appear out of thin air. They need user’s permission on their admission. Yours. The program has to ask whether you agree to allow it in. Only if you do, can it go through with it. No approval, no entry. So, how does it get you to say YES, while keeping you oblivious that you did? Well, it tricks you. It preys on your carelessness. These tools do have to seek your consent. But they don’t have to be straightforward with their inquiries. So, instead, they choose the covert approach. The usual invasive methods include corrupted links or sites. Or, spam emails, and fake updates. And, of course, freeware. Freeware provides, arguably, the easiest entry point. That’s because, users are pretty careless when dealing with it. During installations, they rush and skip doing due diligence. Instead of reading terms and conditions, they rely on luck and agree to everything in haste. And, that’s a colossal mistake. Always take the time to be vigilant. Even a little extra attention can save you a ton of troubles. Choose caution over carelessness. One invites infections into your PC, while the other keeps them out.

Why is this dangerous?

Pushfuns.com begins to plague your every online move. It becomes your shadow. No matter what you do, the site shows up to interrupt. Open a new tab, and it’s there to greet you. Type a search, and it’s among the results. Do anything at all, and the adware finds a way to force it on you. All the ads, you get stuck with? Each banner, in-text and pop-up one, is ‘Powered by Pushfuns.com.’ That’s not only a grave annoyance, it’s also consequential. The continuous interference ends up slowing down your computer to a crawl. It also causes your system to suffer frequent crashes. Having adware on board is anything but pleasant. But the tool doesn’t only deteriorate your system’s performance. It also takes aim at your privacy. The infection tries to steal private information from you. So, it can then expose it to the cyber criminals behind it. And, given enough time on your PC, it will manage to do that. Make no mistake! So, don’t give it the time, it needs to fulfill its agenda. Don’t stand by as it spies on your browsing, and records everything you do. Don’t allow it to send the stolen data to the strangers that published it. Protect your system’s well-being, and yourself. Get rid of the adware at once. The faster, the better.
