Bundling
The appearance of Wholehugewords.com may be a result of a bundled installer. Such bundled installers come from download sites that host packaged archives laced with adware, browser plugins, potentially unwanted applications (PUAs), and even malware. You may have downloaded such an installer in an attempt to download a legitimate application.
Bundling is not illegal but it often causes unwanted, additional downloads, even of legitimate products. To avoid it from happening, you should be more careful during the installation steps of freeware applications.
