Many people complained that they have troubled by random pop-ups when they used their computer. This kind of problem frequently crops up with several programs just like a thread on the internet about the Wordshark, BubbleDock, and Gravity Space malware infection. So how does this happen and what kinds of troubles will they cause? Here is a brief introduction about this issue.

Adware, PUP and some malware usually gets in a computer through bundling. That is, if you download a software, you will click to install it. And then in the installation process (in custom option), you will find some checkboxes beside the requirements that allow other programs in your computer. If you skip this part and install your software without checking, you will find unwanted software in your computer or shopping assistants in your browser. Besides, when you download some share files like winr and zip from the internet, you should be careful. Malware is usually packed in those files. And if you unfold or unzip the file, your will find a lot of rubbishes in your desktop or even system. It is dangerous because many of them are usually hard to remove.
Moving on to the damages of adware, PUP and some malware, you will find them similar or same. They use your memory, change your settings, and display random advertisements. So if your computer is infected, it will run slowly. What you can see clearly may be some browser hijackers or random pop-ups from certain programs.
