Software bundles are a well-known way to deliver Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) or other questionable applications. Often, these bundles may employ various tricks to disguise the installation of 3rd-party services – this is why it is advisable to pay close attention to freeware software installers and to make sure that you are always using the Custom/Advanced mode of the installer. This way, you should be notified about any additional offers, and you will be able to decline them.

If you notice the 'WebHelper.exe' process in your Task Manager, you should terminate it and begin the recovery process immediately. The easier and most effective way to dispose of the WebHelper program and its components is to run an up-to-date security tool.
