How did I get infected with?

The tool, hiding behind TuneFanatic.com, forcing you to see it each time you try to go online, is quite resourceful and deceitful. It’s a master in the arts of subtlety and trickery. In fact, it’s so sly in its deceit that it not just sneaks into your system, but does so undetected. If you’re wondering how that’s even possible when it’s bound to seek your approval first, it’s quite straightforward. That tiny detail doesn’t slow it down one bit. The tool resorts to the old but gold methods of invasion to dupe you into granting it access to your PC without you even realizing it. How? Well, more often than not, it hides behind freeware as it provides possibly the easiest access point. That’s because most users don’t pay nearly as enough attention as they should during its install. They rush and don’t even read the terms and conditions. Instead, they agree to all of them and hope for the best. That’s a poor decision if ever there was one. And, it usually results in you getting stuck with a malicious tool like the one behind  TuneFanatic.com, which is now presenting you with so many issues. To avoid getting stuck with such a tool, make sure to be more careful. Don’t throw caution to the wind, and don’t give into naivety, haste, and distraction. A little extra attention doesn’t hurt. If anything, it can save you a lot of troubles and headaches.

Why is this dangerous?

As soon as TuneFanatic.com pops up for the first time, issues start piling up almost instantaneously. And, they’ll only get from bad to worse, so don’t spare any time and delete the tool behind the page when the first opportune moment hits you. That way, you won’t have to endure its continuous changes. Oh, yes. When you get a hijacker as a house guest, you’ll have to get used to being surprised with incessant reshuffles you didn’t ask for or approve. That’s because, once the tool gets you to permit its install and settles into your system, it’s no longer required to ask for it on anything else. Let that sink in for a while. You’ll be stuck with a hazardous infection free to implement any and all changes throughout your system without asking for your approval prior to making them, or bother to inform you. Just try to imagine the repercussions. If the malware feels like it, it can install more malware. And, you’ll just have to accept its decision. That will hardly lead to anything positive, but don’t wait around to find out. If you remove it the first chance you get, you won’t be exposed to the grave security risk it forces upon you. Immediately after the tool slithers its way in, it starts spying on you. Even before it begins to force the TuneFanatic.com page upon you, it’s lurking somewhere, gathering intel on you. It keeps track of your browsing habits and catalogs every move you make. When it deems it has collected enough, it sends it to the people that published it. That means these unknown individuals will have access to your personal and financial details. The question is, are you going to allow that? Don’t. Delete the malware behind TuneFanatic.com as soon as you first encounter it. You won’t regret it.
