The Jungle Arcade program changes your new tab page to a custom version of Junglearcade.com and reads information like your Internet history, bookmarks collection and download log. The data is transmitted to Junglearcade.com in an unencrypted form where it is analyzed for market development purposes. Your new tab powered by Jungle Arcade might offer games like 'Treasure of God' and 'Santa's Little Helper,' as well as targeted promotional materials. The Jungle Arcade extension may redirect users to recommended content on low-quality online stores and urge them to install an update to their Flash player. All games made available with Jungle Arcade require the user to run the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. However, the software updates offered by Jungle Arcade might be hosted on insecure pages and include third-party software like Search Dimension and FastoPlayer. The browser redirects, the targeted ads, and the invasion of privacy may be enough for some users to consider removing the Jungle Arcade software with a reliable anti-spyware tool.
