The CrushArcade browser enhancer is ad-supported software that offers users to play free Flash games in exchange for their tolerance towards advertisements in their web browser. Security researchers perceive the CrushArcade application as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities because it places tracking cookies on your PC and monitors your bookmarks, browsing, and download history to generate tailor-suited ads. Additionally, the CrushArcade program is dispersed among users bundled with third-party software listed under the 'Advanced' or 'Typical' option. Often, the CrushArcade program is accompanied by adware like Webnexus, BrowseFox and CloverPlus that can decrease your PC performance and provide advertisers with data on your Internet habits. You should keep in mind that the apps promoted by CrushArcade might change your browser settings, show more ads and write registry entries in Windows to run every time you start an online session. Additionally, the operators of CrushArcade sell advertising space to third parties that may provide you with insecure content and links to harmful domains. You might want to know that the CrushArcade application can present you with pop-up and pop-under ads, floating commercials, transitional and contextual ads to deliver sponsored marketing materials. Also, the uninstaller of the CrushArcade app is not programmed to remove third-party software that arrived with CrushArcade. Security experts recommend users to remove adware and PUPs like CrushArcade with the help of a reliable anti-spyware utility.
