What is Avanquest?

Avanquest.com is associated with PUP distribution. That usually means software bundles where extra components are preselected or hidden behind "recommended" install paths.

Users often end up with unwanted toolbars, notification spam modules, and background services that slow the system or track browsing behavior. Review installer options carefully and remove unknown bundled apps after installation.
