Game On is adware that promises its clients quick access to various online games. It may work just as well on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, where you may find Game On in the add-on managers. The developer of this unreliable application is APN, LLC that is also responsible for the creation of the Ask toolbars. The company handling the distribution of Game On is called The Whiz, Ltd. The method used by it is very controversial. This adware may enter your PC if you download some cost-free applications. Many programs with a free license may agree to include additional components in their installers for a certain commission. Luckily, if you use the 'Advanced' path to load them, you can decide which tools to install and which to skip manually. Game On may create a toolbar that may redirect to platforms for online games.
Even if you enjoy some of these sites, you should know that you don't need the toolbar to access them – you can type their URLs directly in the address bar or bookmark them. Nevertheless, the reason not to keep Game On isn't only its lack of useful features. The adware may create additional transitional ads, pop-ups, banners, in-text ads and videos that may disturb you due to their quantity. They may not appear only when you open shopping sites. In fact, you may find them in almost all pages, which may become a setback to the enjoyable surfing sessions of the user. These ads may seize part of the available resources to load, which also may decrease the operating speed of the Web clients or cause sporadic crashes. We cannot confirm that the ads are safe. It is possible for some of them to redirect to potentially unsafe Web pages or fraudulent sites. All in all, you should consider deleting Game On from your PC to keep it safe.
