How Does This PUP Intrude Your System?

Most often, these potentially unwanted programs get into the targeted computers via bundling technique along with other free applications. This generally occurs when users choose the pre-set configuration settings to install freeware after downloading it from a third-party page like soft32.com, download.com, softonic.com, cnet.com etc. PUPs are disguised under the Quick or Recommended mode sets and if you opt-for these installation wizards, you risk your device getting infected with PUPs.

To prevent this, we highly recommend using the Advanced or Custom installation wizards that allow you to take complete control over the incoming objects and de-select the components that look suspicious. You should also trust only on official sources, distributors to download products or software and avoid using the unreliable ones like Peer-to-peer sharing networks and other third-party downloaders.
