Prevention:
You must pay attention during freeware installation. There are usually steps that inform you about the additional features or programs you are about to add. So, you can choose to select them or not.
Always download an application from its official homepage. But still, you should remain vigilant during the setup because sometimes, even official installers come bundled with various third-party features.
Be alert when websites are too good to be true.
Most of the time, they “welcome” you and display suggestions to install freeware, software updates, browser toolbars, and other pieces of software.
Some even instantly ask you to provide your email address. Never trust these sites, because your e-mail is a vital piece of information that you shouldn’t be risking.
Lastly, please avoid clicking unknown ads in order to prevent getting any virus.
