Ads by Fun For me

What is Fun For me?

Created by Jabuticaba Tech Ltd, the Fun For me browser add-on claims to enhance users' Internet browsing experience by enabling comparison shopping and displaying special offers when users visit online shopping websites. While this functionality may seem legitimate, be aware that the Fun For me plug-in is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application.

The developers of this browser plug-in employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', and therefore, most computer users install this add-on inadvertently without their consent. After successful infiltration, Fun For me generates intrusive banner, interstitial, full-screen, and text link ads (marked as 'Ads by Fun For me' or 'Powered by Fun For me').

Furthermore, this add-on tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording IP addresses, browser types, web pages visited, and other information. While this browser extension is not technically a virus or malware, its presence on your system can lead to malware infections and privacy issues.

Therefore, you are advised to eliminate Fun For me from your Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox). At time of research, this potentially unwanted application was distributed using freeware downloads (via deceptive free software 'download clients') and fake downloads (via fake Java updates, browser updates, etc.)

Internet browsers infected with Fun For me adware generate InterYield and DailyOfferService ads. This plug-in is similar to other adware that infiltrates browsers through free software downloads. For example: v-bates, shopperz, and smartofferdisplay among many others.

These browser extensions install on browsers when downloading or installing free software, and although they claim to enhance Internet browsing by adding various useful features, in fact, add no real value. The purpose of these browser plug-ins is to generate revenue from intrusive ads and user tracking.

To avoid installation of this adware, be attentive when downloading and installing freeware. When downloading free software, inspect each step and decline installation of any advertised browser extensions.

When installing downloaded free programs, choose the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal any bundled adware listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. Computer users who observe ads generated by Fun For me should use this removal guide to eliminate adware from their Internet browsers.
