How to remove Damn Good Recipe Promos

What is Damn Good Recipe Promos?

The Damn Good Recipe Promos application generates revenue for the developers by feeding users with various advertisements.

Therefore, it is classified as adware. These apps commonly serve ads and also collect browsing-related (and other) data. Generally, people download and install adware inadvertently and, for this reason, software programs of this type are classified as potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

Typically, adware serves banners, coupons, surveys, pop-ups, and other type of advertisements. In any case, people who click ads that appear due to installed adware such as Damn Good Recipe Promos are often led to untrusted pages, or they allow these ads to execute scripts designed to cause download/installation of other PUAs.

Furthermore, many adware-type apps track information. In most cases, they collect browsing data (e.g., addresses of visited pages, entered search queries, IP addresses, geolocations), however, some PUAs can read private, sensitive information as well.

Gathered data is misused to generate revenue by selling it to third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) or in other ways. In any case, these actions can cause problems relating to browsing safety, online privacy, and other issues such as identity theft. Therefore, it is not safe to have apps such as Damn Good Recipe Promos installed on browsers or operating systems.

There are many ad-supportive programs on the internet. Some examples are The Government Forms Promos, Best Coupons Now Promos and LiveStreamNewsToday Promos.

Most are promoted as "useful apps" that supposedly include various features and deliver some value, however, they are designed only to generate revenue for the developers and simply put users at risk of serious problems.

How did adware install on my computer?

Adware-type apps and other PUAs infiltrate systems and browsers without direct user permission - they are installed together with other software included in the set-ups, or through clicked deceptive advertisements. Commonly, PUAs are included into download/installation set-ups as 'additional offers'.

In most cases, these offers are listed in options such as "Manual", "Custom", "Advanced". Many users agree by default with these offers when they download and install programs without changing the aforementioned settings. Downloads and installations via deceptive ads happen when users click ads that execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

The safest way to download software is using trustworthy, official websites and direct links. Do not use third party downloaders, torrent clients, eMule (or other Peer-to-Peer networks), unofficial, dubious websites, or other similar channels. It is not safe to install programs through third party installers.

Check download and installation set-ups and decline offers to download or install additionally-included apps. Such offers are generally mentioned in "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings. Do not click intrusive ads that appear on web pages relating to gambling, adult dating, pornography and other dubious websites.

These ads are often designed to open dubious web pages. In some cases, they cause unwanted downloads and installations. Remove any suspicious add-ons, extensions and plug-ins installed on the browser and programs of this kind installed on the computer immediately.

If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
