A. If you are experiencing various advertising pop ups, redirects to web pages you did not intend to visit, then this might be a sign that your PC system has become a victim of the PUP (potentially unwanted program) from the adware (also known as ‘adware software’) group.
How does adware work? Adware is a type of software that is used as an online promotional tool. It is designed with the sole purpose to open dozens of pop up ads, and thus to promote the goods and services in an open browser window. Adware can substitute the legitimate advertising banners on misleading or even banners that can offer to visit malicious webpages.

In order to avoid infection, in the Setup wizard, you should be be proactive and carefully read the ‘Terms of use’, the ‘license agreement’ and other setup screens, as well as to always choose the ‘Manual’ or ‘Advanced’ setup method, when installing anything downloaded from the Net.
