The PlayFizz browser extension is created by GPV Entertainment, LLC and can be found on Playfizz.com and in free software packages. The PlayFizz extension is advertised to make your online routine more fun by letting you play arcade, race and board games within your browser.

The PlayFizz adware may appear on your extensions manager, but you may not be able to disable it. The PlayFizz adware could temper with your Windows Registry to ensure its operations at boot-up and every time you start an online session. The PlayFizz adware adds a background control service to the Windows Task Manager to read your bookmarks, browsing history and metadata of pages you visit. That way, the PlayFizz adware can help advertisers deliver targeted marking materials in your browser. The PlayFizz adware will not perform as promised and will cover your browser surface with advertisements to earn affiliate revenue for its creators. The ads by PlayFizz are not considered as safe, and you shouldn't click on banners, floating ads, pop-ups in-text commercials from PlayFizz. The PlayFizz adware may redirect you to low-quality software centers and suggest you to download and install programs like Eakona Updater and Fast Free Converter that have a bad reputation.
