Usually, PUAs are designed to open shady addresses, generate advertisements, and (or) gather various information.

In other words, they are useless to their users and can be the culprit of various issues (e.g., problems related to online privacy, browsing safety). Users who have an app of this kind installed on a browser or computer should get rid of it as soon as possible.

How did adware install on my computer?

It is common that users allow for potentially unwanted applications to be downloaded or installed together with other, mainly free programs. It happens when those applications are included in downloaders or installers as extra offers (bundled together with other programs), and users do not opt them out.

As a rule, users can decline unwanted offers via "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual" or other settings, or checkboxes available in downloaders, installers that are used to promote PUAs.

In some cases, users cause unwanted downloads, installations via deceptive advertisements - by clicking on ads designed to execute certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Questionable websites, third-party downloaders (and installers), Peer-to-Peer networks like torrent clients, eMule, free file hosting pages, etc., are not reliable sources for downloading or installing programs. It is advisable to download all apps (or files) from official websites and direct links.

Advertisements appearing on questionable pages should never be clicked as well. If clicked, they may open other unreliable websites, or cause undesired downloads, installations.

Downloaders and installers that have any settings (like "Custom", "Advanced"), or some checkboxes should be checked for bundled applications. Those applications should be declined before finishing downloads, installations.

Suspicious, unwanted plug-ins, add-ons, extensions installed on a browser should be removed from it. Programs installed on the operating system should be uninstalled too.

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