The PlayGEM software by App Shake LTD may claim to be a physics-based puzzle game that can entertain its users, but it is adware. Security investigators report that the PlayGEM adware functions as a private monetization engine that will subject infected users to a torrent of advertisements. The PlayGEM adware can show banners, sponsored search results, inline ads, pop-up and pop-under windows with marketing materials. The PlayGEM adware will try to earn as much pay-per-click revenue as possible by customizing the marketing content loaded in your browser. The PlayGEM adware is similar to Helper King and FoxyDeal and will use tracking cookies, DOM storage data and read your browsing history to build a unique advertising profile about you. The PlayGEM adware has an official website but it just a front for its unsanctioned activities and travels embedded with free program installers. The PlayGEM adware can be seen under the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' option of freeware setups that you may want to explore the next time. Moreover, the PlayGEM adware may feature links to harmful domains and suggest you to install riskware such as WillFindInfo and Reverse Page. The aforementioned programs may cause your browser to crash and load additional advertisements in your browsers. Also, the PlayGEM adware may redirect you to phishing pages where you could input your credentials for online banking and social media by mistake. You might want to install a credible anti-spyware application that can urge the PlayGEM adware from your PC.
