Potentially unwanted applications intrude without user’s consent when users do not pay much attention at the installation moment while downloading/installing any software. Developers distribute their apps by using deceptive marketing technique called bundling. Most of the times, users download or install PUAs along with other programs. To avoid detection from users, developers hide these apps behind custom or advance options or other settings.

Thus, by rushing through this process and skipping important procedures may lead to download bundled programs. It can also enter into your PC after clicking on intrusive advertisements. Those ads are designed to distribute such apps by running certain scripts. Usually, such ads appear on untrustworthy websites. Typically, the available settings can be used to decline unwanted offers. In most cases, PUAs come bundled with free programs.
