Cyber threat analysts have determined that users are rerouted to Onlinecontent.fun by adware or from suspicious ads. Adware is short for ‘ad supported’ software. Additionally, some malware has adware software built into the program. Adware software presents unwanted advertisements that appear in unclosable windows or in-text links on web browser. In order to display unwanted adverts as often as possible adware can modify your web-browser settings. You may even find that your computer settings are hijacked without your knowledge. The makers of adware software do so in order to earn profit via third-party ad network. Thus every your click on the advertisements generates revenue for them.

Another reason why you need to remove adware is its online data-tracking activity. Adware software may monetize its functionality by gathering privacy data from your browsing sessions. This user data, later, can be easily transferred to third parties. This puts your user data at a security risk.

Usually, adware gets into your machine as part of a bundle with freeware, sharing files and other unsafe software which you downloaded from the Net. The makers of adware software pays software makers for distributing adware software within their software. So, third-party software is often included as part of the setup file. In order to avoid the installation of any adware software: choose only Manual, Custom or Advanced install option and reject all bundled programs in which you are unsure.
