If your browsing experience is often disturbed by unexpected ads, which are labeled as 'Fooriza Ads,' then the source of the problem might be a browser extension you have installed recently. The source of these advertisements might be a browser extension titled 'Fooriza' whose official website offers to provide users with the most relevant content available online, and therefore make their Web browsing sessions more enjoyable and interesting.

However, the installation of Fooriza does no such thing and, instead, users who opt to add this add-on to their Web browser might end up having their browser's settings modified without their knowledge. Thankfully, Fooriza does not apply any potentially harmful changes, and it simply sets the default search provider to Search.fooriza.com. Searches performed through the address bar when Fooriza is installed will end up leading users to the Yahoo Search. However, attempting to open Search.fooriza.com without a search parameter, refers users to Search.cubokit.com.

While Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) like Fooriza are not considered to be harmful, they might often be the source of minor but annoying problems that most users would like to get rid of. The good news is that the Fooriza PUP is not that difficult to remove, and users can perform this operation either with the help of an anti-malware scanner or by uninstalling the Fooriza extension manually.
