We can't blame the browser makers, but some browser add-ons, apps and extensions for Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox add PUPs without your knowledge.For example, Avast Free Antivirus will try and install Dropbox or the Amazon toolbar, and Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+ will try and install the Ad-Aware Security Toolbar and change your search provider. Some free antivirus products may try to install additional software, including browser hijackers and bogus PC-cleaning utilities.The most recent updates for Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Shockwave Player, for example, come preloaded with McAfee Security Scan and Norton Security Scan, respectively. Adobe's free software has been bundling PUPs with its installers for years.Here some well-known downloads that may have been giving you PUPs: AdwCleaner, CCleaner and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will remove both browser hijackers and stand-alone PUPs, and it's not difficult to reset the Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox Web browsers to their default settings. If you do find PUPs appearing on your PC, there are plenty of options for removing them. Other well-known companies are sources of PUPs themselves, creating toolbars, browser hijackers or pointless security scanners that are bundled with other companies' software.
