More details about potentially unwanted applications

Potentially unwanted applications can be designed to promote pages like mugrikees[.]com, hijack browsers, display advertisements, and (or) collect various information. Most users download and install PAUs unknowingly due to deceptive methods used to distribute them.

How did adware install on my computer?

Users often download and install potentially unwanted apps together with other programs - when those apps are included in downloaders and installers for other programs. PUAs get permission to be downloaded or installed when users leave "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", or other settings unchecked, or checkboxes ticked.

Also, users cause unexpected downloads or installations by clicking on advertisements capable of executing certain scripts or using fake installers. Deceptive advertisements and fake installers can be encountered on potentially malicious websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Questionable pages, third-party downloaders, and installers, Peer-to-Peer networks, etc., should be trusted. Files and apps should be downloaded from official pages and through direct links. Advertisements appearing on questionable pages should never be clicked as well.

Downloaders and installers that have settings like "Custom", "Advanced"), or some checkboxes should be checked for unwanted offers. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?

Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.

Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
