How to eliminate funtoday.info ads?

What kind of website is funtoday[.]info?

Funtoday[.]info displays a fake CAPTCHA to get permission to show its notifications and redirects to questionable websites. Funtoday[.]info is similar to thdedukicatio[.]xyz, beparaspr[.]com, news-helaga[.]cc, and plenty of other pages that users do not open voluntarily.

Funtoday[.]info web page in detail

Funtoday[.]info claims that visitors have to click the "Allow" button to prove that they are not robots (to continue loading the page). It uses a clickbait technique to get permission to show notifications used to promote various scams, download sites for potentially unwanted apps (PUAs), etc.

Also, funtoday[.]info redirects visitors to other shady pages. One of them is news-back[.]org - an identical page using the same clickbait technique to trick visitors into allowing it to deliver notifications. Thus, funtoday[.]info and pages that it opens cannot be trusted.

Usually, websites like funtoday[.]info get opened through untrustworthy advertisements, websites, or potentially unwanted applications. Most users download and install PUAs inadvertently. Apps of this type cannot be trusted: they can open dubious pages, display unwanted ads, collect various data.

How did adware install on my computer?

Users download, install unwanted apps by clicking on advertisements designed to run specific scripts, through fake installers downloaded from untrustworthy pages, or downloaders, installers for programs bundled with those apps.

Downloaders or installers for programs bundled with PUAs have "Custom", "Advanced" or other similar settings that users can use to deselect unwanted downloads or installations. Users agree to download or install PUAs when they leave those settings unchanged.
