How did TemplateAnalyzer install on my computer?

Users often install apps like TemplateAnalyzer when installing free or other untrustworthy apps. This happens when users finish installations of desired programs without rejecting unwanted offers. Typically, installers containing adware or other unwanted apps provide "Advanced", "Custom", or similar settings that must be changed to avoid unwanted installations.

Adware installations can also occur when clicking deceptive ads or pop-ups (e.g., fake warnings or misleading offers). Using P2P networks, third-party downloaders, unofficial sites and app stores, and similar sources can also result in unwanted downloads and installations. Sometimes, users install adware via notifications from shady sites and deceptive emails containing links.

How to avoid installation of unwanted applications?

Download apps and files from reliable sources, such as their official websites or trusted app stores. When installing programs, especially free ones or those from unofficial sources, carefully review the installation process and deselect additional apps. Refrain from clicking on advertisements, pop-ups, or other suspicious content on dubious websites.

Do not consent to receive notifications from questionable websites, and ensure that your browser, installed software, and operating system are always up to date. Utilize a dependable security tool and conduct regular scans on your computer to detect and remove unwanted applications.

If your computer is already infected with TemplateAnalyzer, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for macOS to automatically eliminate this adware.
