How Did I Get 7zip Packages Ads

The main method of distribution of this nasty application is via combined downloads, in other words, bundling. What happens is most users look for their well-known and favorite programs such as media player, file converter, photo editor or any other application and they do not download it from its official site. Instead some users go to third-party sites that offer loads of software in one place. Most of such sites offer free applications in the installers of the programs they provide for free. There are these software sites however, who bundle unwanted programs that may not be as useful as one thinks, like 7zip Packages Ads for example. And given that most users tend to fast-click their way through the steps of installers it is highly likely that this is how they might have let 7zip packages slip past them.
