It is very important for people to pay close attention to all the information provided by the installer. We recommend you to always choose the “Advanced” or “Custom” installation mode where you will have a chance to read all the details and uncheck the boxes where this unwanted software is recommended. Obviously, when you do not pay enough attention and agree with all the options by default, you may end up encountering a lot of other low-quality or malicious utilities that will essentially slow down the performance of your computer.
