Potentially unwanted application overview

PUAs appear legitimate, and these apps tend to offer "useful" features that are rarely operational. Instead, unwanted software can force-open pages, run intrusive advert campaigns, hijack browsers, and collect sensitive information. The presence of PUAs on devices can lead to system infections, severe privacy issues, financial losses, and identity theft.

How did adware install on my computer?

PUAs can be downloaded/installed together with other programs. The marketing technique of packing regular products with various additions - is called "bundling". Furthermore, one clicked on - intrusive ads can execute scripts to make downloads/installations without user consent. Some PUAs may also have "official" promotional/download sites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

It is recommended to always research software and download from official/verified channels. Untrustworthy sources, e.g., unofficial and freeware websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks, etc. - often offer bundled content.

When downloading/installing, it is important to read terms, study possible options, and use the "Advanced/Custom" settings to out-out from all supplements. Intrusive adverts appear harmless, yet they redirect to unreliable and dubious sites (e.g., adult-dating, gambling, pornography, etc.).

In case of encounters with advertisements and/or redirects of this type, the system must be checked and all suspicious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins detected - immediately removed from it. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
