Bundled software – the most popular adware hiding place on the Web

If you have been wondering from where did the suspicious adware-related application came from, we have some answers for you. Often, adware gets injected into software packages which is known as bundling.

Opting for the Custom mode will allow you to take control of all downloads and closing all dubious pages will increase your computer safety. Also, installing antimalware with a secure browsing feature will ensure that you will always be warned when trying to enter a questionable-looking third-party website.[4]
