The Adobe Flash gaming platform that is located at Playpopgames.com is available for Windows PCs as a browser plug-in and is recognized as an adware. Security investigators report that the Pop Games adware may use outdated DLL libraries and be a security risk that should not be overlooked. The Pop Games adware may allow users to play premium games like Mafia Battle and Shadow Kings, but Pop Games might redirect users to unsafe sites and welcome them to install riskware such as YellowSend and Zombie News. The Pop Games adware might devote most of your CPU resources to its needs and use JavaScript to place sponsored commercial content on the pages you load in Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Computer users that are infected with the Pop Games adware may not load 720 and 1080p videos on video-sharing platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion properly.
Also, the Pop Games adware may substitute the safe ads on Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and Kmart with promotional offers from untrusted ad networks. Security investigators remind users that the Pop Games adware is based on the Adobe Flash software and may welcome users to install updates that include harmful code. Moreover, the Pop Games adware may collect data like your search terms on Google, browsing history, IP address, and software configuration to generate personalized commercials. Many users might not be comfortable with sharing that type of information with the handlers of the Pop Games adware. The Pop Games adware may not appear in your 'Control Panel' and manual removal may not be possible. Adware applications like Pop Games, Ultimate Gamer Toolbar, and Super King are known to make modifications to the Windows Registry to hide their files and hinder removal. Fortunately, you could install a reliable anti-spyware instrument to detect and delete the binary that is linked to the Pop Games adware.
