What is InstallCore?
InstallCore is an installer that might have been used to carry in the application you downloaded most recently. It is not surprising if you are not familiar with the name because it is not always displayed, and you might be more interested in the names of the programs represented via the installer. It was not built for the distribution of one specific program or for the use of one specific software developer. It was created to help with the distribution of software and make the process much easier, and various different parties can use it. While many Windows users can download legitimate and reliable programs using the installer in question, Anti-Spyware-101.com research team warns that unreliable installers could be used too. If you do not want to encounter them, you have to stay vigilant and perform thorough research every time you download something new. Otherwise, you might realize soon that you need to delete InstallCore-linked threats. Before you continue reading, immediately perform a full system scan using a trusted malware scanner.
How does InstallCore work?
Did the malware scanner find anything dangerous? Hopefully, it did not, but if critical threats were found, waste no time to delete them. If the names listed by the malware scanner say nothing to you – and that is most likely to be the case – research them online. Also, use the search field above to find the removal guides that might be available on our website already. It is important to react to existing threats as soon as possible because, in most cases, the longer they stay, the more damage they can create. Of course, we cannot blame the InstallCore installer for this. Virtually, anyone could use it to spread their products, which is why it is your responsibility to handle the installation process correctly. First and foremost, be very cautious about the sources you use. If you accept a random installer that pops up when you visit a strange website or that is represented via a shady file-sharing website, you should not expect anything good. Even if the main program carried by the installer appears to be legitimate, the added programs might require removal later on.
Things would be much easier if InstallCore was used to spread one program at a time. However, this installer is usually used to represent a bundle, a collection of programs that, in most cases, belong to different parties. That means that you have more Privacy Policies to review and more services to research online. Because of lack of time, people often accept the added programs without even thinking about them, and only later do they realize that they need to remove malware. If you have the option, always reject/decline/dismiss programs that you did not intend to download. If you are not allowed to do so, abort the installer altogether. Of course, even if you are just focusing on one program, do not forget to do your research because you definitely do not want to regret your decision or get stuck with the removal.
How to delete InstallCore programs
Whether or not you need to remove InstallCore-associated threats right now, that does not mean that you should refuse all installers that are coming from this service. Just be careful and mindful. Reject additional offers, research the software you want to install, and ALWAYS review privacy policies. If you have already downloaded something undesirable, you need to figure out a removal plan. Have you considered installing an anti-malware program? If you have not, you should really think about it. This program will delete InstallCore-related threats, if they were installed, and then it will proceed to reinforce virtual protection to keep your operating system malware-free in the future.
