How to avoid getting random programs like Video DownloadHelper installed without your permission

By far the most common way such programs use is via the help of bundled software. This is essentially an installer that has a couple of programs included in it beside the main one. If you try to run this installer using the default installation it will dump everything into your PC. Sometimes the extra programs will be harmless, but they still take space and system resources and clutter and most often you’ll never really use them. Unfortunately there is a good chance that some of these extra programs to be malicious or utterly useless. To avoid the hassle of finding a way to uninstall them it’s best that you don’t allow them access in the first place. It is rather simple – use the Advanced installation option with every program you install. A couple of clicks on the next button will get you the same functionality and ease of use as the Default, but in the meantime you will be allowed to see what exactly is getting installed AND you can chose to forbid anything you don’t like. The main program will always be installed regardless of what the text implies.
