Like other similar potentially unwanted programs, Fmovies could be distributed with redirects or bundled software installers. There is a couple of things you can do to avoid software distributed through such channels in the future. To stay away from software that could come with redirects, you should be careful not to click suspicious pop-ups or other kinds of advertisements that may offer tools you have never heard about.
