I have been seeing PepperZip ads for a while. Are they real? They keep telling me that I need to update my Java. The problem is that I don’t have such program and I have never used any Java. How can I remove ads by PepperZip?

Yes, you are right. These PepperZip ads are misleading and you should never click them. Also, you don't need to update your Java, especially when you don't have such program on your computer. To be sure that you are downloading only legitimate software to your computer, you should always use official websites instead of clicking various ads that appear in your search results. Also, you should know that you are suffering from ads by PepperZip because this program is installed on your computer. Usually, such apps are spread as optional components of download managers, PDF creators and similar freeware. To be sure that you are not installing these optional add-ons and extensions in a bundle with free programs, you have to select Custom or Advanced installation option. Also, make sure that you uncheck check marks that allow adding them to the system. More information about this app you can find here: How to uninstall PepperZip virus?
