It is worth mentioning that most PUAs are promoted and (or) distributed using questionable methods. Thus, users download and install them inadvertently.

PUAs are distributed through downloaders and installers for other programs, fake installers, deceptive advertisements. Users download or install PUAs together with other programs when they do not change "Advanced", "Manual", "Custom" or other settings before downloading or installing programs.
Deceptive advertisements cause unwanted downloads (or installations) when they are designed to run certain scripts. Fake installers usually are disguised as legitimate installers. Most of them are promoted on deceptive pages.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Downloaders and installers that have "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual" or other settings (or ticked checkboxes) should be examined. They can include offers to download or install potentially unwanted applications. Files and applications should be downloaded from official websites and via direct download links.
Advertisements that appear on questionable websites should not be clicked. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
