What is Funnychance.net ads?

Funnychance.net takes advantage of users by tricking them into subscribing to push notifications

Funnychance.netSpam can appear seemingly out of nowhere because crooks use social engineering

Funnychance.net is a fraudulent website run by scammers. It employs social engineering[1] tactics to get people to subscribe to push notifications. Users are instructed to click the “Allow” button in order to assure that they are not robots. However, spam occurs as a consequence of this action.

Even when you've closed your web browser, those pesky pop-up ads can still show up on your screen. Unfortunately, scammers may use rogue advertising networks that place ads leading to dangerous websites. People can end up on pages that try to steal personal information, and trick them into downloading PUPs (potentially unwanted programs),[2] or even malware.

Users report seeing advertising for adult sites, phony antivirus offers, software deals, surveys, and freebies. That is why it's critical to turn off the advertisements as soon as possible, especially if other people are using the affected machine. You will find all the instructions you need below.

Distribution methods

We previously wrote about many other pop-up spam sites, like Cirlaing.com, D1ue3yi0hkdsdl.cloudfront.net, News-pubixu.com, etc. You're probably wondering where all these push notification spam pages are coming from that seem to be everywhere lately. They are usually hidden on other shady sites.

These types of websites are rampant with dodgy ads and sneaky redirects. A good example would be illegal streaming sites that display fake “Download” and “Play” buttons which ideally should lead users to the content they want but actually take them to new pages that monetize user activity.

When browsing the internet, only visit websites that you are familiar with to avoid being taken advantage of. Do not click on links and ads from unknown sources, as they could be bait used by criminals with the intention of tricking you. To stay safe, it is best to go directly to the source instead.

How to prevent from getting adware

Do not let government spy on you

The government has many issues in regards to tracking users' data and spying on citizens, so you should take this into consideration and learn more about shady information gathering practices. Avoid any unwanted government tracking or spying by going totally anonymous on the internet. 

You can choose a different location when you go online and access any material you want without particular content restrictions. You can easily enjoy internet connection without any risks of being hacked by using Private Internet Access VPN.

Control the information that can be accessed by government any other unwanted party and surf online without being spied on. Even if you are not involved in illegal activities or trust your selection of services, platforms, be suspicious for your own security and take precautionary measures by using the VPN service.

Backup files for the later use, in case of the malware attack

Computer users can suffer from data losses due to cyber infections or their own faulty doings. Ransomware can encrypt and hold files hostage, while unforeseen power cuts might cause a loss of important documents. If you have proper up-to-date backups, you can easily recover after such an incident and get back to work. It is also equally important to update backups on a regular basis so that the newest information remains intact – you can set this process to be performed automatically.

When you have the previous version of every important document or project you can avoid frustration and breakdowns. It comes in handy when malware strikes out of nowhere. Use Data Recovery Pro for the data restoration process.
