How did I get infected with?

Unfortunately, adware infections apply mainly secretive and stealthy infiltration techniques which means if you ended up infected with this thing, it’s rather difficult to know exactly how it happened. However, we could make some pretty good suggestions. The most popular distribution method at the moment, named “freeware bundling”, offers hackers a convenient way to spread all kinds of viruses online in complete silence. Make sure you stay away from unverified websites and the unverified freeware or shareware bundles they offer because otherwise, you could infect your own machine with malware. We assume that is not what you’re aiming for online so our advice for you is to stick to legitimate software only. You should also pay attention to the installation process itself and in order to do so, opt for the Advanced/Custom option in the Setup Wizard. Don’t hesitate to deselect anything suspicious attached to the bundle because it should be entirely up to YOU which program gets installed and which does not. So, don’t allow hackers to make that decision because you’re not going to like the outcome.
