How did I get infected with?

You’re in for quite the predicament. Adware applications are hazardous. But do you recall giving the green light to the one, behind Pushalias.com? Odds are, you have no memory of doing that. And, that’s not surprising. The tool did seek your permission on its install. But it did so in the most covert way possible. For example, it posed as a fake update. Yes, the adware can pretend to be a system or program update. And, if you’re not careful enough, you can install it on accident. And, not a supposed Java update. Caution is crucial if you wish to keep an infection-free PC. Infections, like adware, prey on carelessness. They need you to rush, and give into naivety. To rely on luck, instead of due diligence. Don’t! Do the opposite. Always choose caution over carelessness.
