This happened with me while downloading CNET software. -BUT- I realized how I did it by accident. I wasn't given the option to 'uncheck' the additional options, so I thought I had no choice but to download the xtras. (the xtras were the malware) I had the choice to either >Cancel< the download or to >Decline< -and I thought if I hit >Decline< it would stop the download also. Choosing to >Decline< will skip you to download only the wanted software from CNET. So CNET is sill very trustworthy in my opinion!

This stuff is exceedingly malicious, and not only works itself deep into the file directory structure and registry, but it also installs and works with additional stuff under other program names. I am a computer repairman, and just yesterday I had quite the interesting experience with a machine that was brutally infested with this stuff. As I was removing all of the septic things from the machine, Wajam popped up again and again, both as an individual item and paired with what might appear to the unwary as completely separate and distinct entities. Once inside the machine, all browsing is crippled with redirects to unsavory places, and attempts to browse to web pages that provide information and software to remove this toxic sludge will invariably be deflected to misleading or even more toxic webpages. It's nasty stuff, and it's clingy. Scrubbing it out of a computer is a non-trivial task. The multiple installations continuously check on one another, and should any of them be stopped or removed, they will be respawned from the other running processes in this squirming thieves nest of malicious code. The array of malicious software associated with Wajam extends to separate programs installed in multiple locations in the Windows file system, separate browser extensions and plugins, and an amazingly deep and wide-ranging set of registry entries. Trust nothing whatsoever from the Wajam mothership regarding uninstallation, and for that matter, do not go there at all, as you are putting yourself at risk for additional infestations of malware.

This is a spam, popup, adware pile of junk. My son downloaded something from cnet and this was an "add-on" he was too young to understand. Definitely not something anyone would want on their computer. Just trying to use google you end up with a half page of "ads" from wajam, before you see a single valid search result.
