How did adware install on my computer?
We have discovered the Esperanto Dictionary adware on a deceptive website suggesting that one of the already installed browser extensions may be out of data and offering to update it. The Esperanto Dictionary got installed After following the steps provided by that deceptive website.
It is also popular for adware to be distributed using installers for other software (by bundling it with other software). Adware gets installed when users install software without changing "Custom", "Advanced", or similar settings. Those settings can be used to deselect optional installations.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?
Download programs and files from legitimate (official) web pages and through direct links. Avoid using other sources like unofficial pages, third-party downloaders, P2P networks, etc. Do not click on advertisements appearing on questionable websites. Also, do not download (or install) programs until optional downloads or installations are deselected.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
