FashionLifeapp Adware

What is FashionLifeapp?

FashionLifeapp is a deceptive application that supposedly allows users to access the latest fashion news, FashionLifeapp-related forums, and social networks - "FashionLifeapp is your instant access to fashion news, fashion forums, and social networks." 

These false claims are used to trick users into believing that this app is legitimate and useful, however, FashionLifeapp is categorized as a potentially unwanted adware-type program (PUP). There are a several reasons for these negative associations. Firstly, FashionLifeapp often infiltrates systems without users’ permission.

Furthermore, it generates intrusive online advertisements and continually monitors Internet browsing activity.

This app is developed to record Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine geographic location), website URLs visited, search queries, pages viewed, activity on those pages, and other similar browsing-related data.

Note that this information is likely to contain personally identifiable details that are shared with third party companies (who might misuse personal data to generate revenue). Therefore, having an information-tracking app installed can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

Furthermore, FashionLifeapp employs a 'virtual layer' to display pop-up, coupon, banner, and other intrusive ads. The virtual layer enables placement of third party graphical content on any site and, thus, none of the ads originate from users' visited web pages.

Furthermore, some redirect to bogus sites. Note that clicking any advertisements delivered by Fashion Life App adware can lead to high-risk adware or malware infections. You are strongly advised to uninstall this PUP immediately.

FashionLifeapp is virtually identical to tens of other adware-type programs that also offer a number of 'useful' features. For instance, GetLucky, CoupSeek, Weatherping, and AllStarDeals claim to save time and money when shopping online, however, these fake promises to enhance the Internet browsing experience are merely attempts to trick users to install.

FashionLifeapp, and other similar apps, are designed solely to generate revenue for the developers and deliver no real value for users - they generate intrusive online advertisements and collect personally identifiable details.

How did FashionLifeapp install on my computer?

FashionLifeapp usually infiltrates the system during installation of other software. This deceptive software marketing method is called 'bundling'. Developers hide rogue applications within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings, since they are aware that this section is often skipped.

Many users do not express enough caution when downloading and installing software - they rush these processes and this often leads to inadvertent installation of PUPs. In doing so, users compromise their privacy and expose their systems to risk of further infection.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Only by paying close attention during the download and installation processes will you be able to prevent this situation. All bundled software should be cancelled, however, is often hidden, and therefore, use the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings to reveal it. Closely analyze each step and decline all offers to download or install additional apps.
