How did you get infected with Applicationlands.com popup advertisements

The adware usually gets onto computer by being attached to another program in the same setup package. The risk of this is especially high for the various free applications downloaded from the Net. The authors of the software are hoping that users will run the quick installation mode, that is simply to press the Next button, without paying attention to the information on the screen and do not carefully considering every step of the installation procedure. Thus, the ad-supported software can infiltrate your computer without your knowledge. Therefore, it is very important to read all the information that tells the application during installation, including the ‘Terms of Use’ and ‘Software license’. Use only the Manual, Custom or Advanced installation mode. This mode will allow you to disable all optional and unwanted software and components.

To sum up

Now your system should be free of the ‘ad supported’ software which redirects your web-browser to intrusive Applicationlands.com page. Remove AdwCleaner. We suggest that you keep AdGuard (to help you block unwanted ads and annoying harmful web-sites) and Zemana (to periodically scan your computer for new malware, browser hijackers and adware).
