Fanhoosh Ads and Deals

What is Fanhoosh?

Fanhoosh is a potentially unwanted application, which causes unwanted ads (search, banner, text link, transitional, interstitial, and full page ads) whilst users surf the Internet.

Moreover, it tracks users' Internet browsing habits, recording the IP address, unique identifier number, operating system, browser information, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered, plus other software and hardware information.

Note that while the developers (Super Web LLC) state that the application enhances the Internet browsing experience by enabling multi-site search capabilities and displaying website ratings, in fact, it causes more problems than any perceived value added. Fanhoosh diminishes Internet browser performance, and clicking the ads may lead to serious malware or virus infections.

This browser add-on often installs on users' Internet browsers without their consent together with free software downloaded from the Internet. Users should be aware that, today, the majority of free software download websites use 'download clients' to manage the freeware download process and promote free browser add-ons.

Users who do not pay close enough attention to the downloading phase of free software may inadvertently install Fanhoosh or other adware on their Internet browsers.

A clear indication that your Internet browsers are infiltrated with Fanhoosh adware are "Ads by Fanhoosh", "Powered by Fanhoosh", and "Fanhoosh Deals" advertisements visible whilst surfing the Internet.

This browser add-on is similar to other potentially unwanted applications developed by Super Web LLC including Lamilov, Glindorus, and Whilokii amongst many others. To avoid installation of such adware, Internet users should be express caution when downloading free software.

If your download is managed by a 'download client', opt-out of installation of advertised browser add-ons by clicking on the 'decline' button. When installing the downloaded freeware, use the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options, rather than 'Typical', 'Quick', or 'Standard'.

This will reveal any 'bundled' installations. If you observe ads related to Fanhoosh, use the removal guide provided to eliminate this potentially unwanted application from your Internet browser/s.
