Stay cautious when installing new software from a bundle

Since not many people willingly install potentially unwanted programs, their developers use stealthy techniques to distribute their vile creations. One of the most popular methods is software bundling. As soon as you download one and hit the Recommended, Standard, Quick button, all apps within the bundle are installed.

The only way to evade PUPs that travel in software bundles is to stay attentive and pick the Custom or Advanced installation. Only by doing so will you be able to deselect all apps that would have been installed on your device if you'd have chosen otherwise.
