Beware of software bundling – a technique that allows inject PUPs without you noticing
While software bundling is an extremely questionable method of software distribution, it is very prevalent due to the fact that it is very effective. In fact, it is entirely legal, as, technically, users willingly accept Terms and Conditions of the app before installing it.
Unfortunately, PUP developers know that most users do not pay much attention to the installation process, be it free software or even its updates. Adding additional components to the installation wizards of free programs and trying to hide it is quite a bold move, but it works. Thus, users who do not read terms properly or pick Recommended or Quick settings during the installation are highly likely to end up with PUPs on their PCs.
Thus, do not let adware developers monetize on your compromised browsing experience that comes with an increased risk of malware infections. Select Advanced/Custom mode, and untick all the check marks by add-ons, browser extensions, media players, desktop savers, codec packs, driver updaters and similar useless software.
