How did I get infected with?

Adware mainly gets spread online via freeware and shareware bundles. Do you often download such program packages? They are, without a doubt, super convenient. They also offer hackers a notoriously popular malware infiltration method. Next time you install bundles, opt for the advanced or custom option. This allows you to spot any potential “bonus” hackers may have attached to the bundle. If you stumble across a bonus like that, deselect it on the spot. Preventing installation is a lot easier than uninstall viruses afterwards. Hence, do the right thing concerning your safety. Pay attention to what you give green light to. Check out the programs in the bundle instead of just clicking “I accept”. Rushing the process gives you no information about what you’re actually about to install. Another rule of thumb is to check out the Terms and Conditions or EULA. Reading those is probably not the most fun online activity. However, it could help you protect your security. Bundles may turn out to be infested with all kinds of malicious programs so be careful. In addition, stay away from illegitimate bundles and websites. Only download programs you trust and make sure you always outwit crooks. You should also delete spam messages and email-attachments as those are usually corrupted too.
