Chairgaubsy.com – Spread Techniques
Browser redirects like Chairgaubsy.com usually access commonly used web browsers (Chrome, Mozilla, Explorer, Safari, Opera, Edge, etc.) after the unattended installation of potentially unwanted programs. How such programs could land on your device is as a part of software bundles.
The installation of PUPs usually occurs during the installation of desired freeware applications. The process could happen without your knowledge as the installers are usually designed to conceal the presence of extras. And since the extras could be set to install by default along with the primary app at the ends of the installation process you could end up with a running undesired app on your device.
As a good security practice, we recommend the choice of installers’ Advanced/Custom configuration option. This practice could provide for the security of your device and prevent undesired apps from accessing your system as there you could sometimes reveal the presence of PUPs and opt out their installation.
