If you select the standard, all these extra apps will be installed without further ado. Your approval or acknowledgment won’t be needed. The advanced method is the right choice. This option is often presented as a suitable choice for IT experts only. This is a deception. Crooks don’t want you to use this setup. Under it, you will be presented with a list of all extra programs that are about to be installed. Deselect all of them. You don’t need all these tools. They may look useful.

Why is this dangerous?

The Noter Save adware is a menace. You must not tolerate it. It will drown you in a sea of advertisements. Ad banners, pop-up windows, in-text ads, etc. will blink in all imaginable colors. Your browser will struggle to display any content correctly. You will notice that your device, too, performs poorly. All this is due to the adware running in the background. It works on your CPU and consumes a lot of RAM. It may cause some older machines to freeze and crash frequently. Yet those issues are minor compared to what the adware is doing behind your back. Everything you do online is recorded. Thus, for example, when you use your machine for online purchase, the adware will record your paying details as well as the delivery address. The crooks may use that information as they see fit. They can steal money directly from your banking account or they can blackmail you. Nothing good comes from adware applications.
