Penetration Of Thtdvf.com:

Adware, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs are being distributed in a stealthy method that makes people download them without realizing their presence. Ad-supported apps are typically spread by bundling. This technique is closely related to freeware, i.e. freeware providers pack their apps along with PUPs and spread them as a single unit. This generally occurs when installing a freeware from popular sources like soft32.com, softonic.com, cnet.com, download.com etc. and then installing it using the Recommended or Quick mode set.

Remember that unwanted apps are pre-selected, so accepting the installation of the main freeware installer grants access to the whole bundle. Fortunately, it’s possible to decompose the bundle. For this, you have to opt for the Advanced or Custom installation option and unmark checkmarks saying that you agree with the installation of extensions, plug-ins, add-ons, or whatnot. If you do this, you can avoid adware and other PUPs from entering your computer and install only the one you wanted at the first. If your system is already contaminated with this adware, you must remove Thtdvf.com from the computer without wasting any time.
