Potentially unwanted applications in general

Usually, centralheat[.]me and similar pages are promoted through potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), untrustworthy advertisements, and (or) other pages of this kind. Most of them load deceptive content to trick visitors into agreeing to receive notifications. Users often download and install PUAs that promote these pages unknowingly.

How did adware install on my computer?

Pretty often, users download or install PUAs through downloaders and installers for other programs. Unwanted offers can be opted out before finishing downloads, installations. It can be done by unticking checkboxes or in "Custom", "Advanced", "Manual", or other settings that those downloaders or installers have.

In other cases, users cause such downloads and installation by clicking on untrustworthy advertisements designed to run certain scripts or through fake installers (for example, a fake Adobe Flash Player installer).

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Unwanted downloads and installations can be avoided by downloading programs and files only from official pages and via direct links and checking "Custom", "Advanced" and other similar settings before downloading or installing programs.

Also, it can be avoided by not clicking on ads that appear on questionable websites. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
