The Play Crush Games platform can be found at Playcrushgames.com and Golfinggames.com where users have the chance to play games such as Fruita Swipe 2, Jewelish and Love Tester. The Play Crush Games platform may seem convenient to have a bit of fun while you are waiting for a report from your colleague and you have a few extra minutes while on your lunch break. However, the Play Crush Games platform is associated with an adware-powered browser extension that may be used to show corrupted ads and modify your search results on Google. The Play Crush Games adware is similar to the Shmehao Games and Games Bot and may change your homepage and load pop-up ads. Moreover, the Play Crush Games adware may alter the way Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Best Buy are loaded in your Internet browser. Security researchers note that the Play Crush Games adware may use information such as your IP address, browsing history, and software configuration to generate customized commercials.
The Play Crush Games adware may use JvaScript to place an invisible layer over Web pages and wait for your fist click to redirect you to sponsored marketing offers. PC users that are infected with the Play Crush Games adware may have a hard time shopping at Amazon and experience constant redirects to less-reputable online stores. You may notice banners from the Play Crush Games appearing on the top and bottom section of your favorite site. Security researchers alert that the Play Crush Games adware is designed to use the Adobe Flash Player on infected systems for most of its operations and may prevent users from loading videos on the Internet properly. HD videos may not be available online to users that are infected with the Play Crush Games adware. Also, users may not like that the Play Crush Games adware may send information about their PCs to partners, and suggest them to install badware such as FastPlayer and GettingApps. You should consider installing a reputable anti-spyware solution that can prevent adware such as Play Crush Games from invading your privacy and slowing down your computer.
