Funnypage123.com Removal Guide

Funnypage123.com is an untrustworthy search tool you might discover set on browsers. The altered settings of browsers indicate that a browser hijacker from the ELEX family has sneaked onto the computer and applied changes. Unfortunately, search tools promoted by browser hijackers are usually untrustworthy, so specialists at 411-spyware.com suggest being cautious with Funnypage123.com as well. They say so not only because this search tool has been set on browsers without permission. Other disturbing findings have been made by our researchers too. More detailed information is available in this article, so read carefully what we have to say here. Most probably, you will decide to remove Funnypage123.com from all your browsers after reading this article. Specialists highly recommend eliminating this dubious search tool from browsers too and say that users should never trust search engines that are set up on browsers without permission.

Evidently, Funnypage123.com tries to convince users that it is a reputable search provider because it has a legitimate-looking interface. Unfortunately, the appearance of a search engine rarely tells the truth about its true intentions, so never trust search tools blindly. Even though the Funnypage123.com website has taken a form of a search engine, we can assure you that it has not been created to improve your web searching experience or provide you with accurate search results based on the entered search query. Yes, it returns Google search results, i.e. it works quite well at first glance, but it is definitely not a reputable search provider. Research has revealed that users might see advertisements on the search results page even though Funnypage123.com is powered by Google. No, this decent search tool has nothing to do with these ads. Commercials might be placed on the search results page by cyber criminals behind the browser hijacker. These ads might be quite dangerous despite the fact that they look like ordinary search results. It is not advisable to click on any of the search results displayed by Funnypage123.com because you might be redirected straight to an untrustworthy website. Such a website might contain untrustworthy software, bad links leading to corrupted websites, or even record important information about users with the intention of selling the gathered data later and/or use it to provide users with relevant advertisements. The more clicks on ads located on the search results page, the more money the developer of Funnypage123.com gets.

Unfortunately, as research carried out by specialists working at 411-spyware.com has shown, Funnypage123.com might collect information about users too. It is clearly stated in the Privacy Policy that “funnypage123 may request or collect personal information from online users in a variety of ways.” The following details that might identify you personally will be recorded: name, gender, date of birth, and country. It is not the only type of information recorded by Funnypage123.com. It has also been found that the non-personally identifiable information will be collected as well, for example, IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider, platform type, users’ clicks, etc. There is only one way to stop these activities – go to uninstall Funnypage123.com from all your browsers. We cannot promise that it will be very easy to delete it from browsers.

ELEX browser hijackers are quite prevalent these days, so you might find set a new search tool, e.g. youndoo.com, amisites.com, or trotux.com on browsers without your permission again if you do not do anything to protect your PC. In most cases, browser hijackers are spread through bundled malicious installers. Users get these bundles when they click on the Download button on a corrupted website or try to get freeware from bad sources. You can stop downloading software from third-party websites and promise to be more cautious, but, unfortunately, it still does not mean that you could prevent untrustworthy software from slithering onto your PC alone. Specialists know how hard it might be to protect the computer, so they suggest installing a security application. Keeping it enabled will guarantee that malware has no chances of entering the system.

The irritating search tool Funnypage123.com should disappear from browsers after resetting them one by one. If it disappears but revives after closing and launching the browser again, it might be true that this infection has modified the shortcuts of browsers too in order to stay set longer.
