Fanli90.cn Virus – a source of unstoppable advertisements

Software, known for its ability to redirect people’s web searches and impose various browsing-related changes to their browser is classified as a Browser hijacker. Fanli90.cn Virus is a typical representative of this software category, and most of the activities that you are probably facing with it are closely related to the browser hijackers’ main purpose – to display Pay-Per-Click advertisements. Serving as an online advertising tool, this type of software uses a quite aggressive method to expose the users to different sponsored ads. It usually replaces their browser’s homepage or changes their default search engine just to ensure that every time the users open their browser, they will be redirected to specific products, services or promotions. The major reason for all that is the revenue that the owners of the hijacking program receive, every time you click on the sponsored ads and redirects. Driven by desire for more profit, sometimes the owners use the browser hijacker to literally flood the users’ screens with annoying pop-ups, new tabs, banners, promotional links and sponsored web pages. This may heavily interfere with the users’ normal browsing, that’s why it is not surprising why most people, who are exposed to this kind of aggressive advertising activity, desperately seek for ways to remove the annoying program.

Is Fanli90.cn Virus as dangerous as a virus?

Fortunately, despite that a browser hijacker can be really irritating and intrusive, it cannot match the danger level of a virus or a malicious infection with Ransomware or a Trojan, for example. Basically, programs like Fanli90.cn Virus are legal pieces of software and none of their activities are aimed to do harm to your system or files. On the opposite side, real viruses are not only illegal, but they would definitely corrupt your data or the entire system, replicate, infect other devices, spy on you, blackmail you and whatnot. So, in terms of harmfulness, it will be wrong to refer to Fanli90.cn Virus as a virus and compare it to the damage capacity that Ransomware or a Trojan horse has.

However, a browser hijacker still cannot be trusted completely. Very often, programs of this type may employ various questionable techniques and intrusive advertising strategies to generate more income for their owners. For example, the Fanli90.cn Virus developers may use it to monitor your browsing queries, history and bookmakrs, and collect information about your online preferences and interests. Based on this data, they may show you more targeted advertisements and sponsored messages just to increase the chance of you clicking on them. There are a few other potentially unwanted consequences you may experience if you don’t uninstall Fanli90.cn Virus from your machine. Not only can your browser become quite sluggish and unresponsive to your searches, but your entire system may slow down due to the excessive amount of ads and pages that the browser hijacker tries to display. All in all, there would be hardly anything beneficial for you as a user, but you may need to daily go through a lot of frustration if you want to use your browser, unless you fully remove the browser hijacker from your system.
