The Pass And Play browser extension may attract the attention of users that love to watch football, soccer, hockey, and similar sports and share their experience with friends. You may encounter the Pass And Play browser extension in a free software setup file and on low-quality software distribution platforms. Security researchers report that the Pass And Play extension is an adware that is created by a well-known adware developer known as Yontoo LLC. The Pass And Play adware is very similar to the WatchAnyGame and Fetch Sports adware, and may be perceived as harmless by some users. However, the Pass And Play may load corrupted ads in your browser and disable security features that may increase the risk of infection with Binuflix and Injector.

The Pass And Play adware may use JavaScript to inject additional advertisements on your favorite Web pages to improve the affiliate marketing revenue that is generated. You may notice floating ad-boxes, banners, and pop-up windows that feature slogans such as 'Brought by Pass And Play,' 'Provided by Pass And Play' and 'Ad by Pass And Play.' Security researchers note that the Pass And Play adware may invite users to install potentially unwanted programs such as Highlightly and iToolbox that may slow down your overall computer performance. Moreover, the Pass And Play adware may record data such as your search terms on Bing, Yahoo and Google to load personalized commercials, and many users may not like that. The Pass And Play adware may not appear in your 'Control Panel' and you should use a reputable anti-malware utility to clean your PC efficiently.
