NiceAndFun is yet another JustplugIt-based adware program from our old foe JustplugIt Ltd. You should definitely remove this malicious program from your computer, because all it can do is display third-party advertisements of unknown origin. As with any ad-supported program, there is a risk that your computer may get more malicious applications installed as a result of clicking one of NiceAndFun’s advertisements. Cyber security is very important, and programs such as this one greatly compromise it. Privacy is another important issue that cannot be overlooked, since NiceAndFun can gather information about you. If you have this program, then we invite you to read more about it.
Let us begin with the most important issue – the unreliability of its commercial content. It has long been known that content promoted by adware programs is unreliable. The level of unreliability varies, as it is subject to different advertisers. The problem is that the end-user does not even know the names of the entities that supply the ads. JustplugIt is an adware developer which has proven very popular among shady advertisers, because this company’s top brass is unwilling to perform background checks of the entities whose products it commits to sponsor. Therefore, it is quite possible for some ads to promote download links of potentially unwanted programs, adware, and other shady software. The ads NiceAndFun is bound to display come in many different shapes and sizes. For example, they might come as pop-ups, banners, coupons, or in-texts. It all comes down to the clients' specifications, because JustplugIt is a customer-friendly company. It has developed an adware platform to accommodate all of its clients’ needs.
Furthermore, JustplugIt offers its clients the ability to adjust and modify their ads on the go and even supplies them with metadata collected by NiceAndFun. This program is capable of collecting non-personally identifiable information about you. It is not considered to be spying, but you should not provide shady advertisers with the means to customize the ads in such a way that would tempt you to click on them. The information that NiceAndFun can collect includes your IP address, domain names, referring website addresses, and some online web browsing activity to deliver more relevant advertising. Now that you know how this program works, let us move on to how it is distributed and how you can avoid getting such programs in the future.
NiceAndFun is being distributed with the use of software bundling. Shady freeware websites accept money from adware developers in exchange for featuring their adware program in a software bundle. You can avoid installing undesirable software by opting for custom/advanced installation and unticking it. However, it is best to avoid unreliable freeware websites altogether; but we know that that can be difficult at times. So getting an antimalware scanner is an option worth considering, because it can prevent the installation of such programs and remove them if they do get installed.
So, that is all we have to say about NiceAndFun. It is another plain ad-supported program that is set to make money for its developers and their clients. Commercial ads may promote shady software that could compromise your computer’s security. So we think that it is of utmost importance that you remove NiceAndFun.
