Potentially unwanted applications in general

Serviceone[.]info and other pages of this type cannot be trusted. Most users open them unintentionally, for example, by clicking dubious ads or visiting potentially malicious pages. Another way to promote pages like serviceone[.]info is to trick users into installing potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs (adware, browser hijackers, and other apps) are often distributed through downloaders and installers for other programs. Users download or install PUAs when they do not deselect optional downloads or installations using "Manual", "Custom", "Advanced", or other settings available in certain downloaders or installers.

In other cases, users download or install PUAs through shady advertisements (by clicking ads designed to execute certain scripts) or fake installers downloaded from potentially malicious websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Download apps and files from legitimate, trustworthy sources such as official websites and platforms. Avoid clicking advertisements that questionable websites have on them. Check downloaders and installers for unwanted offers/applications before downloading or installing programs.

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