By CagedTech in Browser Hijackers

Aplusgamer.com is used by Mindspark Interactive Network Inc. to promote its browser extension APlusGamer. The APlusGamer extension is advertised as a tool to help students educate themselves and provide them with enhanced search results. Although, the Mindspark franchise is famous with its seemingly helpful applications being used as advertisement platforms by ad providers that partner with Mindspark Interactive Network, Inc. The aplusgamer.com and its hosted APlusGamer extension share a bad reputation due to users being attacked with pop-ups by aplusgamer.com and advertisement content pushed through the APlusGamer extension. The extension is considered as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities because of its functionality and the ability to change your new tab settings and search provider. Moreover, the APlusGamer add-on will record your search queries, browser type, OS version, IP address and URL history in order to display targeted ads. Users should carefully reconsider keeping the APlusGamer extension, and they may want to seek the help of a trusted anti-spyware tool to remove it.
