More about adware

Advertising-supported apps often display ads and also hijack web browsers. This involves changing the settings of a web browser to promote dubious or fake search engines. These shady search engines can present misleading results and contain untrustworthy ads. In many cases, users must remove the browser hijacker in order to restore the original settings.

Examples of apps that display ads are Load All Links, Media Control, and Popup Blocker Gold.

How did adware install on my computer?

We found the Dark Theme For Chrome application on a suspicious website that prompted free extension installation. The app got added to the browser after following the steps on that site.

In other cases, adware and other shady apps are included as optional installations in software installers. When users do not change the "Advanced", "Custom", or similar settings in these installers, they end up installing adware alongside with other software. Fake installers are also used to distribute adware.

How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?

Be cautious when downloading applications and files from the Internet. The safest way is to download them from official sources and reputable platforms. Also, carefully review the options provided in installers and deselect any unwanted apps before completing the installation.

Avoid clicking ads on suspicious pages or notifications coming from such websites. If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
