How did I get infected with?

The Travels-services.com adware did not appear by magic. No, this program, just like any other app, needs your permission to be installed. What it does not need is to ask you openly. You were deceived. The Travels-services.com adware used trickery. It arrived hidden in a bundle. Have you heard of software bundles? These are installation files that setup more than one program. The scheme is quite simple. Developers add extra programs to the installation files of many free apps. When you start the installation of such a bundle, you will be recommended to use the standard installation option. The thing is, this process is completely automatic. Once you start it, you lose control over it. It will install all programs that have been attached to the bundle. Your explicit approval won’t be needed. To avoid this, opt for advanced installation option. This process is often misrepresented as a suitable option for IT experts only. Yet, there is nothing complicated in it. The Advanced installation, as fancy it may sound, is a simple step-by-step installation wizard. Nothing special at all. Under it, however, you will be presented with a list of all programs that are about to be installed. Examine that list carefully. Malicious programs are often attached to software bundles. The Travels-services.com adware is removable. Yet, there are viruses that travel in such bundles too. Only your caution can prevent them from infecting your computer. Install only the apps you trust! Do some online research and read the terms and conditions. If you spot anything out of the ordinary, abort the installation immediately.
