Maqaalkan, waxaan ku arki doonaa waxa ay yihiin Barnaamijyada Aan La rabin ama Codsiyada^{(Potentially Unwanted Programs or Applications)} , oo sidoo kale loo yaqaan PUP ama PUA, iyo sida aad u ogaan karto, ka joojiso rakibidda oo ka saar - haddii software-ka saddexaad uu ku rakibo kombuyuutarkaaga. . Noocan grayware ama kuwa aan malware-^{(non-malware)} ka ahayn ayaa laga yaabaa inay saameeyaan sirtaada, iyo sidoo kale inay waxyeeleyso ammaanka kumbuyuutarka Windows .

Waa maxay Barnaamijyada^(Programs) aan la rabin ( PUP )

Way caddahay magaca - barnaamijyada aan la rabin - inay yihiin software ama apps aadan ka rabin kumbuyuutarkaaga, laptop-kaaga, taleefankaaga, tablet-kaaga, ama aaladaha kale. Markaa sidee bay u galaan kombayutaradaada? Waxaan ka wada hadli doonaa tabaha kala duwan ee ay isticmaalaan software-ka, si loo rakibo barnaamijyadan aan la rabin.

Caadi ahaan waxaa jira laba siyaabood oo kale oo crapware ah lagu bixiyo. Marka hore^(First) , waxaa isku dari kara horumariyayaashu laftooda, ama marka labaad, goobaha la soo dejiyo ayaa laga yaabaa inay u baahdaan inaad soo dejiso duubkooda ama soo dejiyaan maamulayaasha, taas oo markaa iska ilaalin doonta PUPs^(PUPs) .

Barnaamijyada suurtagalka ah ee aan la rabin waa barnaamijyo ku yimaadda inta badan freeware oo ay naftooda ku rakibaan, aqoontaada ama la'aanteed, qalabkaaga. Tani waxay dhacdaa gaar ahaan marka aad ku rakibayso freeware. Xirmada rakibaadda software-ku waxay kugu khiyaamaysaa inaad aqbasho rakibaadda barnaamijyada dhinac saddexaad, oo aadan runtii rabin. Waxaa intaa dheer, ma aha oo kaliya freeware, laakiin qaar ka mid ah software lacag-bixinta ayaa sidoo kale ku rakib barnaamijyo dhinac saddexaad ah oo aadan rabin!

Soo ogow PUPs/PUA-yada

Barnaamijyada suurtogalka ah ee aan la rabin ee ku yimaada qaabka browserka add-ons iyo toolbars^{(browser add-ons and toolbars)} waa kuwo si sahal ah loo aqoonsan karo. Kuwa kale sida barnaamijyada ka shaqeeya gadaal si sahal ah looma aqoonsan karo. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad hubiso Maamulaha Hawsha Windows^{(Windows Task Manager)} si aad u ogaato PUP^(PUPs) -yada .

In kastoo laga yaabo inay u muuqdaan kuwo aan waxba galabsan, PUP-yadu badanaa waa spyware^{(PUPs are often spyware)} . Waxa laga yaabaa inay ku jiraan keyloggers, dialers, iyo software la mid ah oo lagu dhex dhisay. Xaaladahan oo kale, nidaamkaaga ka-hortagga fayraska, haddii uu ku filan yahay, waa inuu ku siiyaa alaarmiga, iyo markaad rakibayso, adigoo og ama ogaal la'aan. Taasi waa marka ay tahay inaad joojiso rakibidda oo aad ka hortagto in la rakibo barnaamijyadan suurtagalka ah ee aan la rabin. Xitaa haddii ay PUP^(PUPs) -yadu nadiif yihiin, waxay qaadanayaan agabka nidaamka qaaliga ah waxayna hoos u dhigaan kombayutaradaada. Barnaamijyada suurtogalka ah ee aan loo baahnayn ee qaabka browserka lagu daro waxay hoos u dhigi doonaan biraawsarkaaga waxayna carqaladeynayaan khibradaada wax raadinta. Waxaa dheer waxay ku xad-gudbi kartaa sirtaada iyo amniga sidoo kale.

Ka saar Codsiyada aan la rabin^{(Remove Potentially Unwanted Applications)} ( PUA )

Si aad isaga saarto PUP-yada noocaan^(PUPs) ah , fur goobaha browserka oo guji Options. Iyada oo ku xidhan biraawsarkaaga, habka lagu maamulayo add-ons^{(manage add-ons)} wuu ka duwanaan doonaa. Internet Explorer , waxaad ka heli kartaa hoos Tools > Manage ku-darkaaga. Akhri qoraalkayaga ku saabsan sida loo maareeyo browserka add-ons^{(manage browser add-ons)} si aad u hesho tilmaamo faahfaahsan oo ku saabsan daalacashada kala duwan.

Hubi add-ons Kuwa aanad fahmin, ka raadi interneedka^(Internet) si aad u aragto inay muhiim yihiin iyo in kale. Haddii kale, dami. Xitaa haddii aysan ahayn PUPs , deminta iyaga waxay ku kordhin doontaa xawaarahaaga wax raadinta.

Haddii aad aragto qaar ka mid ah qalabyada aan la garanayn, waxaad ka saari kartaa iyaga oo isticmaalaya guddigan ama waxaad booqan kartaa Control Panel si aad uga saarto. Haddii ay dhacdo qaar ka mid ah aaladaha xunxun ee diida inay baxaan, waxaad isticmaali kartaa qaar ka mid ah aaladaha nadiifinta aaladaha bilaashka ah^{(Free Toolbar Cleaner Tools)} ama aaladaha saarista Afduubayaasha Browser^{(Browser Hijacker Removal Tools)} .

Marka xigta, fiiri Barnaamijyada iyo Tilmaamaha hoos yimaada Control Panel^{(Programs and Features under Control Panel)} si aad u aragto software ku rakiban. Habka ugu fiican ayaa ah inaad gujiso "Taariikhda La rakibay" si barnaamijyadu u kala soocaan taariikhda aad rakibtay. Haddii aad aragto wax ka baxsan barnaamijka aad ku rakibtay taariikh gaar ah, waa kuwa aad rabto inaad ka saarto. Laakin xusuusnow in barnaamijyada qaar ay u baahan yihiin barnaamijyo dibadda ah sida .NET iyo Visual C++ Distribution Framework . Haddii aad ka saarto barnaamijyadaas, waxaa laga yaabaa in software-kaagu aanu si fiican u shaqayn. Markaa waxaad rabtaa inaad hubiso! Waxaa jira goobo badan oo kuu sheegaya waxa ay qabtaan barnaamijyada kala duwan. Waxaad markaa ka saari kartaa ama ilaalin kartaa barnaamijyada ku saleysan talooyinka boggagaas. AdwCleaner , RogueKiller ,FreeFixer waa qalab bilaash ah oo kaa caawin kara inaad ka saarto PUPs .

Habka kale waa in la hubiyo Hawsha Manager^{(Task Manager)} . Tani waxay ahaan lahayd hawl adag, laakiin haddii aad la kulmeyso gaabis ba'an ee kumbiyuutarkaaga Windows , hubi habsocod kasta. Sidaan horey u soo sheegnay, waxaa jira mareegaha internetka oo sheegaya oo ku taliya waxa ay yihiin barnaamijyadu iyo in la ilaaliyo iyo in kale. Qaar ka^(Certain) mid ah freeware sida ma in aan^{(Should I Remove It)} saaro waxay sidoo kale kugu hagi doontaa arrintan. Iyada oo ku saleysan talooyinka, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad hubiso barnaamijyada u dhigma habka, qaado go'aan waxbarasho oo ka dibna ka saar.

Maalmahan, dhowr software oo amniga ah ayaa loo qorsheeyay si loo baadho oo loo ogaado barnaamijyada suurtagalka ah ee aan la rabin. Fiiri interface-ka ka-hortagga fayraskaaga oo arag haddii uu leeyahay wax ikhtiyaar ah oo noocaas ah Settings . Haddii ay leedahay, waad nasiib badan tahay. Kaliya^(Just) samee iskaan si aad u ogaato liiska PUP^(PUPs) -yada ka dibna ka saar.

Ka ilaali PUPs inay rakibaan

Waa habka aad ku rakibto barnaamijyada kuwaas oo inta badan keena barnaamijyada suurtagalka ah ee aan loo baahnayn ee qalabkaaga. Haddii aad doorato habka 'express method' ama 'habka lagu taliyay' ee lagu rakibo freeware, fursada aad ayay u badan tahay in kombuyuutarkaaga lagu rakibo freeware-ka, oo lagu daray farabadan oo ah Barnaamijyo aan La rabin^{(Potentially Unwanted Programs)} . Sidaa darteed^(Therefore) , had iyo jeer kala soo bixi freeware-ka goobaha badbaadada leh ee la soo degsado oo dhex mara rakibaadda caadada u ah^{(custom installations)} - oo waligaa si indho la'aan ah ha u guji Next , Xiga^(Next) , Xiga^(Next) .

Waxaa jira dhowr farsamooyin oo ay adeegsadaan xirmooyinka rakibidda software si aad u hesho oggolaanshahaaga si aad u rakibto barnaamijyada suurtagalka ah ee aan la rabin. Marka aad dhex marto habka caadiga ah ee rakibidda, xitaa haddii aad aqoon yar u leedahay kombuyuutarrada, waxaad weli si ammaan ah u rakibaysaa barnaamijka aad rabto.

Waxaa ka mid ah tabaha ugu muhiimsan ee ay adeegsadaan xirmooyinka rakibaadda, in la soo bandhigo EULA (bog leh I^{( I ACCEPT)} Aqbalaadda iyo I DECLINE badhamada) ee sanduuqa wada-hadalka oo leh badhanka Xiga^(Button) . Haddii aad akhrido xagga sare ee bogga noocaas ah ee wada-hadalka, waxaad garanaysaa software-ka xirmada rakibidda ay ka hadlayso. Xaaladahan oo kale, way fiicantahay in la dhimo oo laga baxo.

Khiyaamo kale oo caadi ah oo la adeegsado ayaa ah in la tuso bogga EULA , iyadoo I Aqbalay^{(I ACCEPT)} sax. Ma jiro I DECLINE doorasho Xaaladahan oo kale, kaliya ka saar badhanka I Aqbalaada . ^{(I ACCEPT)}Waxaad weli awoodi doontaa inaad gujiso Next si aad u sii waddo rakibidda barnaamijkaaga PUP la'aanteed .

Xaaladaha kale, marka aad doorato rakibaadda khaaska ah, way sahlan tahay inaad calaamadiso "Install XYZ toolbar" iyo " Beddel^(Change) bogga guriga XYZ" oo guji Next si aad u rakibto oo kaliya freeware. Markaa waxaad u baahan tahay inaad ka taxadarto oo aadan ku degdegin markaad rakibayso software si aad ugu rakibto kaliya waxaad rabto.

Sidoo kale si taxadar leh u eeg erayada. Mararka qaarkood waxaa laga yaabaa inay adeegsadaan laba diidmo oo ay kugu khiyaameeyaan inaadan hubin sanduuqa - oo ay ku rakibaan dalabka qolo saddexaad.

Maalmahan wax aad u yar 'freeware' ayaa runtii ah freeware! Freeware -keena waxaa si dhab ah loogu bixiyaa bilaash. Waxaa kaloo jira dhowr kale. Laakin qaar ka mid ah soosaarayaasha freeware waxay xidhxidhaan dalabyo dhinac saddexaad ah kuwaas oo noqon kara software aan la rabin, iyaddoo la eegayo lacag. Kuwani maaha kuwa bilaashka ah - laakiin waa xidhmooyin^(bundleware) sida qashinka ku riixaya^(crapware) kombiyuutarkaaga Windows . Markaa mar kasta oo aad rakibto software ama ciyaaraha bilaashka ah, aad uga taxaddar inta aad rakibayso. Akhri^(Read) oo guji Next . Ka saar^(Uncheck) sanduuqyada, haddii aad u baahan tahay inaad ka baxdo wax-soo-saarka qolo saddexaad. Haddii aan ikhtiyaarradan oo kale la bixin - ka bax rakibidda. Waxaa fiican^(Better) in aan la rakibin software noocaas ah.

Isbeddel kale oo aan beryahan ogaaday ayaa ah in horumariyayaashu ay u soo bandhigaan software-ka sidii freeware dhab ah, iyaga oo aan riixin wax dalabyo dhinac saddexaad ah marka hore.

Potentially Unwanted Programs or Applications; Avoid installing PUP/PUA

In thiѕ post, we will see what arе Potentially Unwanted Programs or Applications, also referred to as a PUP or PUA, and how you can detect them, stop them from installing and remove them – if third-party software installs them on to your computer. This form of grayware or non-malware may affect your privacy, as well as potentially compromise your Windows computer security.

What are Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUP)

It is clear by the name – unwanted programs – that they are software or apps you don’t want on your computer, laptop, phone, tablet, or other devices. Then how do they get on your computers? We’ll discuss the different tricks some software use, to install these unwanted programs.

There are typically two ways such crapware gets delivered. First, it could be bundled by the developer themselves, or secondly, download sites may require you to download their wrappers or download managers, which would then foist PUPs.

Potentially unwanted programs are programs that come bundled mostly with freeware and install themselves, with or without your knowledge, on your devices. This happens especially when you are installing a freeware. The software installation package tricks you into accepting the installation of third-party programs, that you do not really want. Moreover, not only freeware but some paid software also install third-party programs that you don’t want!

Detect PUPs/PUAs

The potentially unwanted programs which come in the form of browser add-ons and toolbars are readily identifiable. Others like programs that run in the background are not easily identifiable. You may have to check your Windows Task Manager to find out the PUPs.

Though they may seem innocent, the PUPs are often spyware. They may contain keyloggers, dialers, and similar software built into them. In such cases, your anti-virus system, if good enough, should give you an alarm, as and when you are installing them, knowingly or unknowingly. That is the time when you have to stop the installation and prevent these potentially unwanted programs from being installed. Even if the PUPs are clean, they take up precious system resources and slow down your computers. Potentially unwanted programs in the form of browser add-ons will slow down your browser and hamper your browsing experience. Plus it may violate your privacy and security too.

Remove Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA)

To uninstall such PUPs, open the browser settings and click on Options. Depending upon your browser, the process to manage add-ons will be different. In Internet Explorer, you can find it under Tools > Manage your Add-ons. Read our post on how to manage browser add-ons for detailed instructions for various browsers.

Check the add-ons. For the ones you do not understand, run an Internet search to see if they are important. If not, turn them off. Even if they are not PUPs, turning them off will add to your browsing speed.

If you see some unknown toolbars, you can remove them via this panel or you can visit the Control Panel to remove them. In case of some nasty toolbars which refuse to go away, you can use some Free Toolbar Cleaner Tools or Browser Hijacker Removal Tools.

Next, check out the Programs and Features under Control Panel to see the software installed. The best method is to click on the “Date Installed” so that the programs get sorted by the date you installed them. If you see anything in addition to the program you installed on a particular date, they are the ones you would want to remove. But remember that some programs need external programs like .NET and Visual C++ Distribution Framework. If you remove those programs, your software may not function properly. So you want to be sure! There are many sites that tell you what different programs do. You can then remove or keep the programs based on the recommendations on such sites. AdwCleaner, RogueKiller, FreeFixer is a free tool that can help you remove PUPs.

Another method is to check the Task Manager. This would be a tedious task, but if you are experiencing extreme slowness in your Windows computer, check out each process. As mentioned earlier, there are websites that tell and recommend what the programs are and whether to keep them or not. Certain freeware like Should I Remove It will also guide you in this matter. Based on the recommendations, you may check out the programs corresponding to the process, take an educated decision and then uninstall them.

These days, several security software are programmed to search and find out potentially unwanted programs. Check out the interface of your anti-virus and see if it has any such option in its Settings. If it has, you are lucky. Just run a scan to detect a list of PUPs and then remove them.

Prevent PUPs from Installing

It is your way of installing programs that often brings potentially unwanted programs into your devices. If you choose the ‘express method’ or the ‘recommended method’ to install freeware, chances would be high that your computer will get installed with the freeware, plus a bunch of Potentially Unwanted Programs. Therefore, always download freeware from safe download sites and go through the custom installations – and never blindly click on Next, Next, Next.

There are several tricks employed by software installation packages to get your consent to install potentially unwanted programs. When you go through the custom installation process, even if you have little knowledge of computers, you will still be safely installing just the program you want.

Among the main tricks employed by installation packages, is to present a EULA (a page with I ACCEPT and I DECLINE buttons) on the dialog box with a Next Button. If you read the top of such a page on the dialog, you know what software the installation package is talking about. In such cases, it is better to decline and exit.

Another common trick employed is to show the EULA page, with I ACCEPT ticked. There is no I DECLINE option. In such cases, just uncheck the I ACCEPT button. You will still be able to click Next to continue installing your program without the PUP.

In other cases, when you select custom installation, it is as easy as to uncheck “Install XYZ toolbar” and “Change the home page to XYZ” and click Next to install only the freeware. You thus need to be careful and not in a hurry while installing software so that you install only what you want.

Check the wordings carefully too. Sometimes they may use two negatives and trick you into not unchecking the box – and installing the third-party offer.

• Windows 10 now allows you to disable or enable protection against Potentially Unwanted Applications (PUA) using Windows Security.
• You can also turn on or off PUP Protection using Group Policy, Registry, or PowerShell in Windows 10.
• This post will show you how to enable Potentially Unwanted Application protection in the Edge browser.
• Unchecky is a free tool that can prevent unnecessary third-party programs from being installed on your computer. Whenever you install a new program, this tool will become proactive and spontaneous, and deselect the irrelevant offers, which will not only save you a lot of mouse clicks but also keeps your system away from the unwanted adware, PUPs and other crapware.
• SpywareBlaster can prevent the installation of spyware and other potentially unwanted programs on your Windows PC.

If yours is a multi-user PC, you can block other users from installing programs.

Final Words

These days very few ‘freeware’ are really freeware! Our freeware is genuinely offered as free. There are several others too. But some freeware developers bundle third-party offers which could be potentially unwanted software, with a view to make some money. These are not freeware – but bundleware as the push crapware on to your Windows computer. So whenever you install free software or games, be very careful during installation. Read and click on Next. Uncheck boxes, if you need to opt-out of third-party offers. If no such options are offered – exit the installation. Better not to install such software.

Another trend I have noticed lately is that some developers launch the software as genuine freeware, without pushing any third-party offers initially. Blogs, download sites, and websites cover them and link to them. Once, some time has passed by, they start bundling Potentially Unwanted Programs. So one has to be careful at all times.

If you have any observations to make, please do so for the benefit of others.

See how you can make Windows Defender protect you against Potentially Unwanted Programs too.
