How to eliminate the advertisements delivered by the fugles.net website?

What is fugles[.]net?

Fugles[.]net is a rogue website that loads dubious content and/or redirects its visitors to other (likely unreliable or malicious) pages. The Internet is rife with such websites; news-lipaze.cc, positivestar.org, news-gemara.cc, and totaltopposts.com are but a few examples.

Most users are redirected to rogue webpages by suspect sites, intrusive advertisements, or installed PUAs (Potentially Unwanted Applications).

Fugles[.]net in detail

The behavior of fugles[.]net is determined by its visitors' IP addresses/ geolocations. Therefore, whether visiting users are presented with questionable material and/or redirected elsewhere - depends on this information.

Furthermore, most pages of this type use clickbait or other deceptive content - to trick visitors into allowing their browser notifications. Fugles[.]net uses fake CAPTCHA verification, and should its notifications be enabled - the website will begin running intrusive ad campaigns.

The delivered ads endanger device and user safety. Intrusive advertisements promote various sale-based, rogue, untrustworthy, deceptive/scam, and even malicious sites. What is more, once clicked on, some of these adverts can download/install software (e.g., PUAs) without user permission.

Potentially unwanted application overview

PUAs appear legitimate and offer "handy" features, which seldom work as advertised, and in most cases - they do not work at all. Unwanted apps usually have harmful abilities, e.g., force-opening webpages, running intrusive advert campaigns, hijacking browsers, and collecting sensitive information.

To summarize, the presence of PUAs on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and even identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs are spread using the "bundling" marketing technique - packing regular software with unwanted/malicious additions. Rushed download/installation processes increase the risk of allowing bundled content into the system. Upon being clicked, intrusive ads can execute scripts to make stealthy downloads/installations. PUAs may also have "official" promotional/download sites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to research software and only download from official/verified sources. Untrustworthy download channels, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - often offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is advised to read terms, explore possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings, and opt-out from all supplements. Intrusive advertisements appear harmless, yet they redirect to various questionable sites (e.g., pornography, adult-dating, gambling, etc.).

In case of encounters with such adverts and/or redirects, the device must be inspected and all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
