Bundling means that a piece of software is included in other software&#8217;s installers. Here&#8217;s how it appeared in the installer:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Unisales-installer.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3723\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Unisales-installer.png\" alt=\"Unisales installer\" width=\"486\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Unisales-installer.png 486w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Unisales-installer-300x233.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as UniSales by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.<\/p>\n<p>When I stumble upon some new bundled software I always upload it to <a title=\"How To Scan a File for Viruses with VirusTotal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/scan-files-for-viruses-virustotal\/\">VirusTotal<\/a> to verify if the anti-virus programs there detect something interesting. 29% of the anti-virus scanners detected the file. ESET-NOD32 names UniSales as <strong>a variant of Win32\/AdWare.MultiPlug.BN<\/strong>, F-Secure calls it <strong>Gen:Variant.Adware.Graftor.153998<\/strong>, McAfee detects it as <strong>Artemis!7E61FEF6948F<\/strong> and McAfee-GW-Edition names it <strong>BehavesLike.Win32.Adware.hm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/unisales-virustotal.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3729\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/unisales-virustotal.png\" alt=\"unisales virustotal\" width=\"706\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/unisales-virustotal.png 706w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/unisales-virustotal-300x125.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;d like to <strong>remove UniSales<\/strong>, and that&#8217;s pretty straightforward with <a title=\"About the FreeFixer removal tool\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/about-freefixer\/\">FreeFixer<\/a>.
