One relatively new infection is the Fanli90.cn Virus. This is a typical member of the pesky browser hijacker family. That means it’s stealthy, irritating, obnoxious and very problematic. Last but not least, it’s dangerous. Fanli90.cn is actually supposed to enhance your browsing experience. Hackers aren’t exactly famous for being honorable people, though, are they? This program is trying to trick you into letting it sneak onto your system. Once it does, trouble begins immediately. The way hijackers work is pretty much self-explanatory. Fanli90.cn will hijack your browsers and mess with their default settings. This pest adds to them a plugin/extension. It goes without saying that your permission isn’t even remotely relevant. Hijackers don’t get developed to be beneficial for you. That means your own opinions about your own browsers aren’t of importance. Apart from the fact this is upsetting, it may also turn out to be harmful. The fanli90.cn parasite’s plugin is unreliable. It brings along an endless pile of sponsored and potentially corrupted web links. In addition, your default search engine and homepage get altered too. Both are now replaced with the parasite’s domain. Don’t even for a minute forget this is a questionable, unsafe domain. After all, fanli90.cn was created by hackers to serve their purposes. How does this nuisance help its developers? By generating web traffic. As we mentioned, fanli90.cn forces its search engine on you and bombards you with sponsored links. Every single time you click any of then, crooks gain profit. Voila. Cyber criminals wouldn’t even dream of a more effortless way to make money. Furthermore, their revenue comes at your expense as the web links could be dangerous. They may lead you to all sorts of pages including some malicious ones. The hijacker even presents these links as perfectly safe search results. However, there is absolutely nothing safe about the fanli90.cn Virus. You’re now constantly one click away from malware. To prevent further damage, stay away from the links currently on your PC screen. The parasite could also display some third-party pop-ups and other product commercials. Same thing goes for the ads – they are sponsored and could cause you harm. Keep in mind that you’re dealing with a nasty cyber intruder. The sooner you uninstall it, the better.

How did I get infected with?

You probably didn’t even realize when this infection got downloaded. Unfortunately, most parasites don’t tend to manifest their presence. They don’t seek your authorization either. The Internet is filled with malware and hackers are full of ideas. Now that you know how worrisome these programs could get, are you willing to get infected again? There are some much more devastating types of parasites online. Make sure you avoid all of them. For example, stay away from illegitimate websites. Only download software that you trust and never rush the process. Rushing is what brought fanli90.cn to you. When it comes to bundled programs, pay close attention to the software you download. Opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard. Deselect all additional “bonuses” you may stumble across in the bundle. We recommend that you check out the Terms and Conditions as well. This isn’t the must fun and exciting thing to do on the Web. However, it could prevent malware infiltration. Some parasites may use the old but gold method of spam messages and emails. If you receive some suspicious-looking email from an unknown sender, delete it. Remember that it would only take you one careless more to get your PC compromised.
