Fubs.info

Posted: December 10, 2015

Fubs.info is one of the shady places on the Internet that you should avoid. The site doesn't seem to host any cyber threats, but it may cause you problems in different ways. Your first impression when your browser loads fubs.info may be a pleasant surprise. You will face a pop-up, according to which you are the lucky visitor. If you press the 'OK' button and move on, you will encounter a second notification. It informs you that you have the chance to win various expensive rewards like iPhone 6S, iPad Pro or shopping coupons for $1000. You need to fill a short survey. As you probably suspect, there aren't any prizes that the visitors can win. It is a scheme to obtain information from you that can benefit third parties greatly. The offered questionnaire is indeed pretty brief and simple. You will be asked only four questions that don't have a 'right' or 'wrong' answer – they are related to your online experience, favorite browser, etc. The problem is that after the last question, you will be encouraged to share your email address and phone number. This data may become part of marketing lists quickly. You may start receiving spam messages, or some dealers may start calling you to promote their products or services. The best thing to do is leave fubs.info as soon as you enter. However, the suspicious platform may appear regularly when you are online because it is associated with a browser hijacker. This unwanted Web extension may even make fubs.info the homepage of all your Web clients, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. You should scan your system with reliable security software to locate and delete this parasite.
