Users Should be Careful When Dealing with PUP
Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) are notorious for masking their installation from the user's attention. PUPs are often bundled with other software, usually free applications or software that users actively seek to download. Once the user initiates the installation process, PUPs may present themselves as legitimate software components, such as browser toolbars, browser extensions, or system optimizers, among others.
PUPs may also present themselves as useful or beneficial software, thereby tempting the user to install them. In some cases, PUPs may use deceptive tactics, such as disguised checkboxes or misleading installation wizards, to trick the user into installing them.
In summary, PUPs often use tactics such as bundling or deception to obfuscate the fact that they are going to be installed from users' attention.
