Fubosportsnetwork.com is a free sports streaming-video network associated with FuboTV that was launched in mid-2019. Unfortunately for internet users, Fubosportsnetwork.com has financed malicious advertising networks to show advertisements as a form of promoting their new service and this is a serious problem. Malicious ad-networks make it so ads promoting the streaming service are aggressive and unethical pop-under ads that pop-up in a new browser window or browser tab while you browse the web. This style of advertising is only used by malicious ad-networks that are known to promote malware, adware, browser hijackers, spyware, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).
Fubosportsnetwork.com must be fully aware of what they are doing as this aggressive advertising style that forces internet users to see their ads is somewhat successful for malware developers. The bad thing about this is that malicious ad-networks are used by adware (ad-serving software), malware, and websites that have implemented code. So, if you see unsuspecting Fubosportsnetwork.com ads while browsing the web it could mean that your computer or device is infected with adware or malware, or that you just visited a website using the same ad-network.
The Fubosportsnetwork.com website and/or the services offered by the website and their affiliates may not be recognized as malicious or unethical; However, Fubosportsnetwork.com is consciously financing a malicious advertising network to promote themselves and malicious advertising networks utilize unethical advertisements and show advertisements that promote serious cyber threats. This means that Fubosportsnetwork.com is supporting malware and the spread of malware by deliberately paying the distributor of malware.
Advertisements displayed by malicious advertising networks are typically aggressive and deceptive. Malicious ad-networks show advertisements including pop-up ads, pop-under ads, and in-text ads that legitimate ad-networks such as Google AdSense don’t. Some advertisements are designed to trick people into downloading malware. For example, they flaunt updates and media players that don’t exist and instead download malware when clicked.
Malicious advertising networks are usually used by websites that contain content legitimate ad-networks recognize as prohibited such as websites that contain video streams, torrents, and adult content. These websites use the networks to generate revenue although the networks may be malicious and penalize them in some way.
