About Gdsmux Ads

Gdsmux is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware. You might get infected by Gdsmux Ads if you carelessly install some sort of software and use Default settings. If it does end up on your computer, it will start gathering information about you, then constantly redirect you to certain websites and show you loads of ads. Gdsmux does not pose serious threat to you by itself but it can expose you to danger. Those redirects and ads might lead you to malicious websites and you might end up with malware. If you notice that it has infected your computer, you need to remove Gdsmux as soon as possible.

How does Gdsmux Ads spread

Most adware, browser hijackers and potentially unwanted programs spread via free software. Gdsmux Ads spread the same way. When you install free software, you probably use Default settings during the installation process. That is where your mistake lays. A lot of free software have additional items added to them and if they go unnoticed, they will automatically install onto your computer. Default settings do not show those items. Advanced (Custom) settings do. If you use Advanced settings, you can see what is being installed along with the software and if necessary, you can prevent the installation. If you did accidentally install this PUP, you should delete Gdsmux Ads.
