Super Colors in detail
Super Colors is described as a browser extension allowing users to apply different colors to a webpage background.

More about adware-type applications
Sometimes, adware-type applications can be designed not only to generate ads but also to promote fake search engines. In such cases, they manipulate the settings of web browsers. They change the default search engine, homepage, and new tab page to an address of a fake search engine.
How did adware install on my computer?
Most browser adware-type apps are distributed using questionable (often deceptive) methods. They get installed through untrustworthy ads, fake installers, software bundles, and in similar ways. When software bundles include adware, installers have "Advanced", "Custom", or other settings. Adware gets installed after finishing software installations without changing those settings.
How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?
Always use trustworthy (official) pages and stores to download files and applications. Do not trust other sources (like third-party downloaders, unofficial pages, or Peer-to-Peer networks). Also, do not click on advertisements and notifications displayed by questionable web pages.
Check downloaders and installers for optional downloads and installations and deselect unwanted apps before downloading or installing software. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
