How PUPs Associated with Gooosrvs.net may Enter a Computer

PUPs associated with Gooosrvs.net may be installed by bundling them with software installed on the affected computer. When computer users agree to install a new program (that may be downloaded for free from the Web), they may not notice that they also agree to install other software, which may be a Web browser extension, toolbar or add-on. Computer users may opt out of installing these kinds of programs. However, the option to opt out may be difficult to access or made confusing deliberately. When possible, computer users should use 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation. They also should be on the lookout for grayed out options or text and confusing language using double negatives or technical jargon to prevent computer users from opting out.
