TuneFanatic (or Tune Fanatic, TuneFanatic Ads) is a browser extension promoted as a tool for music lovers offering the latest music news, reviews, and games. Despite its useful functionalities, TuneFanatic is classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) by security analysts because of the various advertising materials it displays in the web pages viewed by the user. TuneFanatic is compatible with all the commonly used web browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.). TuneFanatic is not of a malicious nature, but it is known to inject numerous advertisements in the web pages you visit and induce privacy-related issues. These disadvantages of the application are why experts recommend the removal of TuneFanatic from your computer.
TuneFanatic can be downloaded online, or it may enter your system bundled with other free applications, like media players, PDF creators, etc. Potentially unwanted programs and adware can end up in your machine unnoticed because in most cases they are not properly disclosed in the installation process. If you want to be informed what additional programs are delivered to your computer alongside the software you install, you better prefer the Custom options and opt-out of any plugins, apps and add-ons you do not want on your PC.
What Makes TuneFanatic A Potentially Unwanted Program?
Users report that once TuneFanatic is active in the system, it will display various pop-up, in-text and banner advertisements on the websites you visit. Experts consider such actions a potential risk for the affected machine because third party ads often link the non-suspecting user to unsafe web locations and lead to poor browser performance. The Tune Fanatic application does not assume liability for the content of the sites it redirects you to once you click on the ads.
Added to Google Chrome, TuneFanatic is automatically allowed to:
Read and change your data on the web pages you view.
Manage your extensions, themes and apps.
Keep in mind that Tune Fanatic may track your browsing sessions, IP address, and search queries. The application may share this information with third parties for advertising purposes.
