How do deceptive applications infect computers?

Generally, these applications are promoted using deceptive, unofficial websites, and also using various Peer-to-Peer networks such as torrent clients and eMule. No legitimate, official website promote these tools. Therefore do not trust unofficial websites or other third party software download sources (or apps downloaded from them).

How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?

The safest way to download software is using official websites and direct links. Peer-to-Peer networks (torrent clients, eMule, and other such tools), third party downloaders/installers, unofficial websites and other sources should not be used. These are often monetized by promoting unwanted apps that could later cause problems.

Additionally, install (and download) software with care, especially freeware. Check all available "Custom", "Advanced" and other settings - do not allow unwanted apps to be installed together with software that you downloaded/install willingly.

Avoid clicking intrusive ads - they might cause unwanted downloads/installations and often redirect to untrustworthy websites such as gambling, pornography adult dating, and so on. If you suspect that there are unwanted apps installed, check your browser for unwanted extensions, plug-ins, and add-ons and remove them immediately.

After you locate the suspicious program you wish to remove, right click your mouse over its name and choose "Delete".

locate the malware file you want to remove

After removing the malware through the Autoruns application (this ensures that the malware will not run automatically on the next system startup), you should search for the malware name on your computer. Be sure to enable hidden files and folders before proceeding. If you find the filename of the malware, be sure to remove it.

searching for malware file on your computer

Reboot your computer in normal mode. Following these steps should remove any malware from your computer. Note that manual threat removal requires advanced computer skills. If you do not have these skills, leave malware removal to antivirus and anti-malware programs.

These steps might not work with advanced malware infections. As always it is best to prevent infection than try to remove malware later. To keep your computer safe, install the latest operating system updates and use antivirus software.

To be sure your computer is free of malware infections, we recommend scanning it with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
