This threat also encourages people to allow notifications from the site or differed ad-supported pages. Unfortunately, any interaction with the shady domain can lead to those direct desktop notifications coming on the screen even when the browser is closed.

Location, IP addresses, most viewed sites, or searched items can be tracked, collected, and used by third-party companies from the first PUP infiltration minute. That includes all the following domains and even different commercial sites that you encounter unexpectedly:
- 29.bodlift.com,

Freeware installations and bundled packages cause PUP infiltrations without your permission
Third-party companies and installation setups have one feature that makes PUP delivery easier – software bundling. This is the method that allows PUP developers to pack their products with freeware and deliver the application automatically during the recommended or quick process.
Although various experts[3] note how important is to choose reliable sources and official providers of the software and even program updates, people still tend to go for default installations and skip through important steps without even paying attention. This is the biggest mistake.
Users are not required to permit such installations directly, so all the automatic PUP downloads happen without your knowledge. Fortunately, you can avoid these installations if you choose Advanced or Custom options during the freeware downloading process. This way, you can see all the program included in the setup and de-select adware, hijackers, or other shady applications from the list.
