What do you need to know about Tuniaf.com pop-up

Basically, Tuniaf.com Pop-up is a website that a person gets redirected to after clicking on a malicious online ad or if their system is infected with an adware virus. The main Tuniaf.com page is displayed as a black screen with white letters saying ‘If you are 18+ tap Allow’ and ‘To access the website content, click Allow’. At the top left side of the page, below the URL box, a square notification appears asking to enable Tuniaf.com Pop-up messages (different browsers show the alert in different places). The same can be noticed in other malware like Leblonmedia.com, Kaymopk.com, Videojosmooth.com, and Mobi.Trkerrr.net.

According to the VirusTotal.com, there are tons of subdomains of the Tuniaf.com page that start with a single or a double-digit before the main domain’s name, for example, 12.tuniaf.com, 96.tuniaf.com, 57.tuniaf.com and etc. The IP leads back to the Netherlands but that does not mean that crooks are from there. This may be the server/proxy that Tuniaf.com Pop-up developers are using. Additionally, our research revealed that again the same IP was noticed in other malicious pop-up websites Umprow.com, Alopoy.com, and Unverf.com, which were possibly created by the same crooks.

Once again, the Tuniaf Pop-up site is not a virus itself, but it does have a close relation to other malware that affects not only computers but also smartphones. One study found that the Android virus called HiddenApp.AK is often transferring its victims to the Tuniaf.com site. Another research showed that Win32.Trojan.Raasj.Auto was downloaded from the same IP address as Tuniaf.com Pop-up. All in all, Tuniaf.com Pop-up malware for sure can result in serious cybersecurity issues if not removed in time.

But spreading other malware is not the only reason why Tuniaf.com Pop-up exists. It does all these malicious things and asks for permission to show notifications in order to control your online activity so it could earn money from malvertising, pay-per-view/pay-per-click ads, online scams and other malicious marketing techniques.

Tuniaf.com Pop-up infection signs

There are clear symptoms of a Tuniaf.com pop-up infection:

• Tons of ads, inappropriate flashy content displayed on regular websites, pop-ups, redirects
• Slower computer and browser with increased CPU performance
• Irresponsive, frozen and crashing Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari
• Hacked accounts, leaked personal information, identity/credit card data theft
• Websites that were always accessible are now blocked
• Changed main homepage and search engine

The above symptoms apply to other adware, too, but Tuniaf.com specifically can’t be mistaken: its ads appear in the infected browsers and they’re labeled with “Tuniaf.com”. The ads appear like pop-ups and show up regardless of what site you are on.

How did you end up with Tuniaf.com virus

The most likely reason why you are dealing with the Tuniaf.com Pop-up virus is that at some point you have accidentally or voluntarily installed a program that has some adware qualities. This could have happened if you were tricked by shareware/freeware site offers that lured you in to get certain popular software free of charge, meanwhile giving you additional unpleasant ‘surprises’ in the installer, including a Tuniaf virus-causing PUP. This could have been any potentially unwanted program like FireQuestions, QkSee, CouponRockstar. Once this malicious software sneaked into your PC as a pre-selected additional program, it started generating various promotions, ads and pop-ups (like Tuniaf.com) to worsen the infection.

However, Tuniaf.com can pop-up and ask to enable its notifications (and initiate the malicious codes download) even if your system is clean. An accidental click on a shady website or an advertisement could have redirected you to the main Tuniaf.com page. If you do not click on it and close the window immediately, you should be fine and never see the notification again, but if not, then Tuniaf.com connects to the malicious server and downloads the rest of the necessary code to take over the browser. Afterward, it’ll come up during every browsing session.

This all can be prevented by simply getting a reliable antivirus/anti-malware product, which would block such pages like Tuniaf.com that are marked as suspicious in their databases, preventing it from damaging your computer. Moreover, basic knowledge of safe online browsing can prevent future infections if the security tools will fail.

How to remove Tuniaf.com virus

There are many reasons behind the Tuniaf virus infection. As mentioned before, it usually is a consequence of an adware virus that gets installed with a bunch of other programs, making it almost impossible to detect the cause behind the Tuniaf notifications. Unless you know for sure what program (or possibly a browser extension) exactly is causing the issue, only then we recommend manual removal because deleting virus yourself while not knowing much about the root cause can cause harm with no benefit. If you do decide to try to terminate the malicious agent on your own, you can find an example on how to do that at the end of our other article about a similar pop-up threat called Routgveriprt.com. In short, you need to block Tuniaf.com and its many subdomains from sending you notifications.

But the most effective and least technical skills/time requiring removal option that you should be looking into is the automatic removal with an anti-malware tool like Spyhunter for PC, Combo Cleaner for Mac, or, if that does not work for you, Malwarebytes. All of these spyware removal programs are the perfect helpers when it comes to detecting suspicious programs that you are not fully sure if they are viruses or not (like PUPs), as well as hunting the invisible parasites that silently work in the background without showing a sign. All you need is to run a scan and Spyhunter, Combo Cleaner, or Malwarebytes will clean your system without you having to reinstall anything.
