Potentially unwanted applications used to promote websites like asoursuls[.]com cannot be trusted too. Usually, they are useless to their users and can harmful. Apps of this type should not be downloaded (and installed).
How did adware install on my computer?
It is pretty common for potentially unwanted applications to be distributed by including them in downloaders or installers for other programs as optional offers. This distribution method is known as "bundling". Typically, users can find and deselect unwanted offers in "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual" (or other settings), or using checkboxes.
Users agree to download or install offered applications when they do not make any changes in the aforementioned settings (leave default settings unchanged). Sometimes, users cause undesired downloads or installations by clicking deceptive advertisements that are designed to execute certain scripts.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Software and files should be downloaded from official websites and via direct links. Peer-to-Peer networks (for example, eMule, torrent clients), third-party downloaders, unofficial pages, etc., can be used to distribute unwanted software. Third-party installers can be designed to install undesired software too.
Downloaders and installers that have "Advanced", "Manual, "Custom" or other settings, or ticked checkboxes should be checked for optional offers. Those offers should be declined before finishing downloads, installations. It is worth mentioning that potentially unwanted apps usually are in downloaders, installers for free programs.
Advertisements on unreliable pages should not be trusted as well - those ads usually open potentially malicious pages or run scripts designed to cause downloads, installations. Any suspicious or unknown extensions, add-ons, or plug-ins installed on a web browser and software of this kind installed on the operating system should be removed. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
