Where the Unwillian.xyz pop-ups comes from

Some research has shown that users can be redirected to Unwillian.xyz from malicious advertisements or by potentially unwanted apps and adware. Adware is short for ‘ad supported’ software. Additionally, some malware has adware built into itself. Adware software presents unwanted advertisements that appear in pop ups or sponsored links on computer screens. In order to show unwanted advertisements as often as possible adware can change the internet browser settings. The adware makers do so in order to make profit via third-party ad network. Thus every your click on the ads generates money for them.

The most common way to get adware is a freeware installer. In many cases, users have a chance to disable all included ‘offers’, but certain setup files are created to confuse the average users, in order to trick them into installing potentially unwanted software and adware. Anyway, easier to prevent adware rather than clean up your device after one. So, keep your internet browser updated (turn on automatic updates), run good antivirus software, double check free programs before you launch it (do a google search, scan a downloaded file with VirusTotal), avoid shady and unknown web sites.
