Remove funadsfeed.top pop-ups

funadsfeed.top is a deceptive website that tries to trick users into allowing desktop ads. It’s one of thousands of sites that misuse a legitimate browser feature that allows sites with permission to show notifications on users’ desktops. Thus, when you get redirected to this site, you will immediately get a browser alert saying “funadsfeed.top wants to show notifications”. If you click “Allow”, you will authorize the site to show ads on your desktop. These ads will not only be annoying but may also expose you to potentially dangerous content, including scams and malware. Fortunately, you can easily revoke this permission via your browser’s settings.

 

 

Not all sites should be trusted with the permission to show notifications on the desktop. For instance, sites like funadsfeed.top exploit it to flood users’ desktops with ads. When you visit funadsfeed.top, a browser alert will appear saying “funadsfeed.top wants to show notifications”. Given the questionable nature of this site, any notifications you allow are likely harmful and could expose you to malicious content. These ads will appear in the same space as legitimate system notifications, making it easy to confuse the two. They could even mimic real notifications. If you’ve allowed notifications from this site, avoid interacting with them to reduce risks, and promptly revoke the site’s permission.

It’s strongly recommended to run a scan with anti-virus software like WiperSoft to check for adware, which could be triggering the redirects. If adware is detected, removing it will stop the redirects. Otherwise, if the issue arises from the sites you visit, installing an ad blocker should resolve it.

Random redirects can be triggered by adware

In many cases, being redirected to sites like funadsfeed.top happens when you visit high-risk websites. Examples of such sites include those featuring adult or pirated content, as they often bombard users with suspicious advertisements. Clicking on anything while on these sites can easily trigger a redirect. To minimize these intrusive ads and redirects, use an ad blocker.

Additionally, these redirects may stem from adware infections. Minor infections like adware, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) often use a method called software bundling, allowing them to attach themselves to free programs as optional offers. These offers are set to install automatically, without your explicit permission. Even though these offers are meant to be optional, you need to manually deselect them to prevent installation.

To avoid unwanted offers when installing free programs, always choose Advanced or Custom installation settings. While the installation window may suggest using Default settings, which hide these offers, selecting Advanced settings will show all additional offers, letting you uncheck any you don’t wish to install.

Though some of these offers might seem appealing initially, do not install them. Once they are installed, removing them can be complicated, so it’s much easier to prevent their installation by simply unchecking a few boxes during the installation process.
