Can’t Remove Sync.js/Fpi.js ads? This page includes detailed ads by Sync.js/Fpi.js Removal instructions!

The irritating Sync.js/Fpi.js pop-ups are up to no good. If you encounter their presence on your PC screen, that’s a clear indication your machine is in trouble. To learn how you could fix this issue, keep on reading. As you could imagine, there’s a virus standing behind the Sync.js/Fpi.js pop-ups. We’re talking a particularly sneaky adware cyber infection or some kind of a PUP (potentially unwanted program). Now that you know your PC is compromised, are you willing to procrastinate? Are you willing to keep an infection on board knowing how dangerous it is? The virus is lurking somewhere in the shadows, hiding in the corners of your PC system. Therefore, the sooner you take measures, the better. Adware is considered to be the most irritating, intrusive and stubborn type of parasite currently on the Web. Its shenanigans begin as soon as the computer gets infected so you will very quickly realize there’s a problem. To begin with, this program makes numerous (completely unauthorized) changes in your browser settings. By adding a malicious browser extension, the virus actually injects your browsers with the infamous Sync.js/Fpi.js pop-ups. Why is it so important to flood your PC screen with these commercials? Because they help hackers gain profit. If you weren’t aware how the pay-per-click mechanism works before, you are aware now. Every single time you click any Sync.js/Fpi.js pop-up ad, the parasite’s developers gain revenue. This way you’re practically becoming a sponsor of hackers just by keeping their infection on board. Yes, money is in the bottom of this entire scheme. Obviously, hackers don’t need to worry about your safety once you click the pop-ups. What matters here is crooks’ dubious profit, not your online experience. Keep in mind the ads are immensely unreliable regardless of how attractive they might seem to be. This is a trick. Due to the parasite’s presence you will be seeing pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, interstitials,  video ads, various discounts and coupons in various shapes, product deals and offers, etc. Furthermore, you will be seeing those on a daily basis. This nuisance infects all your browsers so the never-ending pile of pop-ups will be waiting for you all the time. Hackers also use a malicious advertising platform (the ap.lijit.com website) in order to bring the ads to you. However, as already mentioned, the adware program you need to remove is somewhere on your device and has to be uninstalled ASAP.

How did I get infected with?

Do you often downloaded bundled software off of the Internet? Many people do. And many people end up compromising their own computers with all kinds of parasites imaginable by rushing the installation. Keep in mind that malware travels the Web attached to safe programs as a “bonus”. It goes without saying this is a bonus you most certainly do not want on board. All you have to do is pay more attention to the software you install, especially if ti comes bundled. And especially if it comes for free. With bundled freeware and shareware being among the most popular infiltration methods, you can’t afford to skip installation steps. Always watch out for potential intruders and opt for the custom or advanced option in the Setup Wizard. It’s your job and yours only to spot/deselect any infection you may come across in the bundle. Don’t neglect your safety and don’t underestimate hackers’ creativity when it comes to malware. In addition, make sure you stay away from third-party pop-ups, suspicious-looking emails or messages, illegitimate websites, malicious torrents and anything else online that you don’t trust.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The only concern for any adware-type infection is to generate as many commercials as possible. This pest is no exception. Its browser extension is compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer which means you will be bombarded with pop-ups no matter which browser you decide to use. Even though the Sync.js/Fpi.js pop-ups appear to be rather harmless, you should better than to trust them. Remember, hackers aim at gaining profit. Their nasty infection doesn’t discriminate between safe and corrupted ads so you might easily compromise your PC further by clicking the commercials. Some of them lead you straight to malware and some of them advertise non-existent products; both options sound equally bad, don’t you think? There’s no doubt the virus has to be uninstalled as soon as possible as it serves as a back door to more infections, constantly redirects you, slows down the PC speed and even jeopardizes your privacy. Your passwords and usernames and browsing history and email addresses are now monitored and sent directly into the greedy hands of cyber criminals. Crooks have many monetizing platforms to choose from and you could be absolutely positive they will find a way to make money out of your personal data.
