• Keep your OS, browsers and security utilities up to date.
• You can adjust your browsers’ settings to block pop-ups and to load plug-ins only when clicked.
• Download and utilize Adblock, Adblock Plus, uBlock or one of the similar trustworthy extensions to block third-party advertisements on web-sites.
• Don’t just click on any link you see on your homepage  while browsing the web. That applies particularly to links in comments, on forums, or most especially in instant messengers and social media.
• Don’t download software from unverified, unknown and malicious web-sites. You can  easily download a trojan -which is a malware that pretends to be a useful application; or some unwanted programs could get installed along with the app.
• When installing freeware or shareware, be sensible and don’t rush through the process, always make reading a habit. Carefully read through. Also choose Custom or Advanced installation mode, look for checkboxes that ask for your permission to install third-party apps and uncheck them, read End User License Agreement to make sure nothing else is going to get installed aside from those you opt to install.  If declining from installing unwanted programs is not possible, we advise you to cancel the installation completely to prevent it from installing the PUPs.
