Potentially unwanted applications in general

2promoter[.]com is an untrustworthy website designed to promote other pages of this kind. It achieves that by redirecting visitors to those pages or through its notifications. Typically, users do not visit these pages on purpose. One of the ways to promote pages 2promoter[.]com is through potentially unwanted applications (PUAs).

How did adware install on my computer?

It is common for unwanted downloads and installations to be caused through downloaders and installers for other programs. Users download or install PUAs alongside other programs when they do not change "Advanced", "Custom", or other settings or checkboxes available in downloaders and installers.

Also, unwanted downloads and installations can be caused by clicking on deceptive advertisements designed to execute certain scripts or through fake installers. Most fake installers are promoted using deceptive websites.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Download programs and files from official websites and via direct links. Other sources can be used to distribute/promote questionable software.
