How PUPs End Up on Users’ Computers:

A PUP is a “potentially unwanted program”. Sometimes users encounter an ad for a “useful” program or browser extension and end up installing it without reading License Agreement first and realizing that the program will generate ads or change browser settings. Many cases of adware installation happen when users install some free or “cracked” software and don’t uncheck boxes responsible for extra programs’ installation. These extra programs usually ends up to be adware, browser hijackers and other potentially unwanted software. Regardless of the source, in many cases adware is not the only program that ends up getting installed. Often there will also be other apps; in the best case it will be programs causing some annoyance: redirecting the user to unwanted sites, opening pop-ups, changing default search engine, etc. In worse cases some malicious programs might be installed: spyware, ransomware encryptors, and so on.

Delete Suspicious Programs From File Explorer:

This step is for experienced computer users who know what they are doing. You might accidentally delete something you weren’t supposed to.
Sometimes malicious programs don’t show up in Programs and Features. Check %ProgramFiles%, %ProgramFiles(x86)%, %AppData% and %LocalAppData% (these are shortcuts; type or copy and paste them into the address bar of File Explorer). If you see folders with unfamiliar names, see what’s inside, google those names to find out if they belong to legitimate programs. Delete the ones that are obviously associated with malware. When you are unsure, you may make a backup copy of the folder (copy it to a different location) before deleting the folder itself.

How to Protect Your PC From ExtreamFanV5 and Other PUPs:

• Get a powerful antivirus or anti-malware software that can detect and remove not only viruses, trojans, spyware, etc., but also adware and PUPs/PUAs.
• Keep your operating system, browsers and antivirus up to date. Cybercriminals always search for new browser and operating system vulnerabilities to exploit and sometimes find them. If a vulnerability is made public, software creators will usually release an update soon to patch the vulnerability. If a program stops getting updates, it can become a gateway for malware. As for antiviruses, their creators are always on the lookup for new malware samples, which are then added to antiviruses’ databases. That is why it is important to keep your antivirus up to date.
• Download and use a good ad-blocking program or browser extension, for example, Adguard or uBlock Origin.
• Don’t click on links blindly and don’t open attachments in spam emails.
• Download from trusted sources. Only download apps from reputable sources like the Microsoft Store and be cautious about the apps you install
• Be careful when installing free software. Read through the install wizard instructions carefully, choose custom settings over standard or express options, and avoid accepting bundled programs during installations
