How to remove Tuning Videos
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What kind of application is Tuning Videos?
Tuning Videos is described as an app that protects the eyes and improves sleeping cycles by adjusting video temperature and many other properties. After downloading and adding it to a browser, we found that it has an additional property - it shows advertisements. Thus, we categorized Tuning Videos as adware.
Tuning Videos in detail
Clicking on ads generated by Tuning Videos can open shady websites. For example, untrustworthy pages asking to provide personal information, various scams, sites offering to download dubious apps, etc. Also, ads displayed by Tuning Videos may be used to distribute unwanted apps - clicking them can download or install shady apps.
We also found that Tuning Videos can read and change all data on all websites. Developers may use Tuning Videos to collect information that they may misuse for malicious purposes (for example, sold to third parties or used to steal identities).

Adware in general
The purpose of adware is to show annoying advertisements. Also, adware can be used to gather information and promote fake search engines. A big part of adware is promoted/distributed using deceptive methods. Thus, most adware-type apps are installed unintentionally. More adware examples are Research Alts, Renew Search, and Settings.
How did adware install on my computer?
We found that Tuning Videos has an official website. Also, it is promoted a deceptive page that displays instructions on how to add Tuning Videos to a web browser to "complete the process". It is also common for apps of this type to be distributed via shady advertisements and installers for other programs.
Programs bundled with adware have "Advanced", "Custom", or other settings in their installers. Adware installs after finishing installations of programs without changing the settings mentioned in the previous sentence.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?
Download applications from official websites (and use direct download links). Do not use shady pages, third-party downloaders, P2P networks, and similar sources to download apps and files. Also, do not click on ads and fake buttons displayed by dubious sites or allow shady pages to show notifications.
Always deselect optional (unwanted) installations before 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.
