This application can get into your system together with bundled software downloads from a third party, that is why you have to be careful about what you download from unfamiliar websites. Also, be extremely attentive during the installation process, because quite often applications like Pub.Bprotector can even prompt you about the oncoming installation. Unfortunately, due to the fact that users often go through the installation automatically, they end up installing things they neither need nor want.
