How Adware Ends Up on Users’ Computers:

Sometimes users encounter an ad for a “handy” 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.

How to Protect Your PC From Ironcarver.top and Other Adware:

  • Get a powerful antivirus or anti-malware software that can detect and remove not only viruses, trojans, spyware, etc., but also adware and PUPs (potentially unwanted programs). Or get a separate anti-malware tool (for example, AdwCleaner) in addition to your antivirus and run it every week or two.
  • 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 (like Internet Explorer: you can get malware just by visiting some rogue site on that browser). 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 browser extension: uBlock Origin, Adguard, or Adblock Plus. Before downloading make sure the extension is a real deal and not an imitator with a similar name. Those are often adware themselves.
  • Don’t click on links blindly and don’t open attachments in spam emails.
  • Don’t download software from shady websites. You can easily download a trojan (malware that pretends to be a useful application); or some unwanted program could get installed along with the app.
  • When installing free programs, don’t rush through the process. Select Custom or Advanced installation mode if possible, look for checkboxes that ask for your permission to install third-party apps and remove those check marks. Read End User License Agreement to make sure that extra software is not going to get installed and browser settings are not going to get changed.
  • If you use remote desktop software on your computer, select a long, strong password.
  • Get a good firewall for your computer or at least turn on the inbuilt one.
