DownloadAdmin

DownloadAdmin is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) whose installation may bring additional dubious applications to the user's computer. Apart from being associated with other PUPs, DownloadAdmin also may manipulate popular Web browsers to display annoying ads provided by 3rd-party companies and individuals that may be affiliated with the DownloadAdmin's publishers.

DownloadAdmin has an official website where users can download it from, but that may not be how most people get DownloadAdmin on their computers. In fact, many users who have this PUP on their computers may have no idea that they agreed to install DownloadAdmin unknowingly when they were installing an entirely different piece of software. Because of DownloadAdmin's tendency to use software bundles for its distribution, we advise users to be extra careful when installing new applications that may be bundled with 3rd-party programs. Often, software bundles may use misleading installation instructions and similar tricks to convince people to install a Potentially Unwanted Program like DownloadAdmin.

If you see DownloadAdmin in your list of installed programs, and you don't recall agreeing to install it, then you need to remove this PUP as soon as possible. The removal of DownloadAdmin should be performed with the help of a popular anti-malware software that can fully remove all of the PUP's files and Registry entries.
