The Joyic extension responsible for Joyic Ads may be installed on your computer when you attempt to install freeware or shareware applications. The Joyic adware may be distributed via software bundles, so we advise users to observe the installation instructions closely whenever they download new software because the installation of Joyic may be prevented if users would just pay more attention to the things they agree to install.
