Tips to prevent Adware and other unwanted programs

The adware usually is bundled within another program in the same installer. The risk of this is especially high for the various free applications downloaded from the Web. The creators of the programs are hoping that users will use the quick installation mode, that is simply to click the Next button, without paying attention to the information on the screen and don’t carefully considering every step of the setup procedure. Thus, the adware can infiltrate your system without your knowledge. Therefore, it is very important to read all the information that tells the application during installation, including the ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘Software license’. Use only the Manual, Custom or Advanced installation type. This method will help you to disable all optional and unwanted applications and components.
