How to stop redirects to and from mybuzz.fun
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is mybuzz[.]fun?
mybuzz[.]fun is a rogue website that leads visitors to other untrustworthy web pages or provides dubious content. It is one of many other web pages of this kind that include, for example, mediasvideo[.]live, notification-list[.]com, and system-sms[.]com.
Browsers generally open these web pages due to installed potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) that force-open the sites. Therefore, people do not visit websites such as mybuzz[.]fun intentionally or download/install PUAs willingly. Note that PUAs also display ads and gather data.
Typically, PUAs open web pages such as mybuzz[.]fun in a new browser window or tab. They then open other (about two or three) untrustworthy, potentially malicious pages or display dubious content. The way they behave depends on the visitor's geolocation.
In any case, neither mybuzz[.]fun nor websites opened through it can be trusted. Furthermore, this site often tricks visitors into allowing it to show notifications using a 'clickbait' technique. It urges users to click "Allow" to continue - this gives mybuzz[.]fun permission to show notifications, ads, and other unwanted, dubious content.
Furthermore, most PUAs collect data such as, for example, IP addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, and other browsing-related information. Some of these apps are designed to record personal, sensitive data. Developers share the data with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue.
These actions can lead to problems relating to privacy, browsing safety or even identity theft. PUAs often feed users with coupons, pop-ups, surveys, banners and other intrusive advertisements that conceal underlying content of visited websites. If clicked, they open other untrustworthy, malicious websites.
Some of these ads might execute scripts that download and install unwanted apps. Therefore, uninstall all unwanted or suspicious apps (PUAs) from your browser and computer immediately.

Typically, developers advertise PUAs as legitimate/useful and offer various features or functionality. In fact, they are designed only help developers to generate revenue and provide no real value or operate as advertised. Some users might be forced into having other unwanted apps installed and will experience other problems.
How did adware install on my computer?
People often install PUAs inadvertently. These unwanted downloads/installations are usually caused through clicked intrusive ads or via the set-ups of various (usually free) programs. Set-ups of freeware are often used to distribute unwanted software by including PUAs as additional offers.
This distribution method is called "bundling" and is used to trick people into downloading/installing PUAs with regular software. In most cases, offers to download or install additional programs are hidden in "Custom", "Advanced" or other similar options/settings of the set-ups.
Many people cause PUAs to downloaded and installed when they leave these settings unchecked and unchanged.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
Download software only from official, trustworthy websites. Avoid other sources and tools such as Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule and so on), unofficial web pages, third party downloaders, installers etc. Check all settings (such as "Custom", "Advanced") that are included in any download or installation setup, and dismiss offers to download or install unwanted software.
Do not to click intrusive advertisements, especially those displayed on dubious websites. Ads of this kind usually cause redirects to potentially malicious websites or download/installation of unwanted applications.
If unwanted redirects happen randomly or intrusive ads appear on any visited website, check for unwanted apps (extensions, add-ons, plug-ins) installed on the browser, or programs on the operating system.
Remove all unwanted software immediately. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
