Do you know what TuneFanatic.com is?

This search tool could also take over your browsers without permission, which means that it can act as a browser hijacker.

If TuneFanatic.com has replaced your home page and Default-search.net has been set as the default search provider without permission, there is no doubt that your browsers are under an attack of a browser hijacker. Even though TuneFanatic.com is a relatively new threat, it is not that new, considering that it is just a clone of MoviesFanatic.com. This is another browser hijacker that users need to delete from their operating systems if it manages to slither in. Both of these search engines were created by Aztec Media, the company that is responsible for Linkey Project and Default-search.net as well. Even though it is unlikely that you will have to delete these infections from your PC with TuneFanatic.com, you must know how to identify them so that they could not attack in the future. Our objective is to inform you about malicious and unreliable programs so that you would know how to delete them and how to keep them away from your operating system in the future.
Even though TuneFanatic.com does not offer authentic search results (it redirects to Yahoo), it showcases links to third-party sites via the pictures attached at the bottom of the home page.

Needless to say, clicking on these links can be extremely risky because you cannot know what kinds of sites hide behind them. What if you are tricked into visiting malicious sites? We strongly recommend removing TuneFanatic.com to avoid unreliable links and stop suspicious tracking cookies from collecting information about you.
