More examples of software categorized as adware are Oniria, SearchPro Tools and InLog Browser. Most apps of this type feed users with advertisements. Developers advertise adware as useful software that supposedly improves the browsing experience, delivers various features, and so on.

In fact, few of these apps operate as promised. Generally, they are designed only to help the developers to generate revenue and can cause serious problems.

How did adware install on my computer?

Software developers often distribute PUAs using a deceptive marketing method called "bundling". They use this to trick people into downloading and installing unwanted apps with other, regular software. To achieve this, they include PUAs into the set-ups of other programs and hide related information in "Custom" and "Advanced" settings.

People who download and install programs without checking and changing these settings often agree by default with offers to download and install additional PUAs. In some cases, PUAs are downloaded and installed through deceptive ads. If clicked, these cause unwanted downloads and installations by executing certain scripts.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications

Various third party downloaders, installers, unofficial pages, Peer-to-Peer networks (e.g., torrent clients, eMule), and other channels are often used to distribute unwanted or even malicious applications. Therefore, programs and files should be downloaded from official web pages and through direct links.

Note that download and installation set-ups often contain settings such as "Advanced", "Custom", "Manual", etc. These settings should be checked for offers to download and install additional, unwanted software. Intrusive advertisements that appear on dubious pages can open potentially malicious pages or cause unwanted downloads and installations.

For these reasons, you should never trust or clicked the ads. Remove any unwanted extensions, add-ons or plug-ins already installed on the browser immediately.

The same applies to software of this kind that is installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
