You should think twice before agreeing to install a software called Webs Gamer. This tool is an adware that may cause a number of issues with your browsers. Its primary task is to make the sites of its partners more popular. For this reason, Webs Gamer may inject plenty of commercial materials in all possible shapes. As you go to your favorite places on the Internet, you may notice pop-ups, banners, in-text ads and animations considerably more than usual. There may be a mismatch between the announced performance of Webs Gamer and the actual one. For example, the developers of this adware claim that Webs Gamer will show ads for free games that you can download to your desktop. While some of the sponsored links may indeed lead to platforms that host free games, in the majority of cases, the pop-ups and banners may advertise something completely different.

Their content may be closely associated with your surfing habits. Since the adware may have access to your searches and know what sites you visit most often, it may adjust the offers to match your taste. As a result, you may visit various shopping platforms. Some of them may be legit and may even sell the products at a reasonable price, but other sites may be threatening. The developers of adware may not check if all of their partners are safe. Moreover, a site that is initially flagged as safe may start spreading harmful software later. You should proceed with extreme caution if you want to explore the Webs Gamer deals. You should know that this ad-oriented extension may lead to problems with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer because some of the ads may use a lot of resources. To spare yourself the trouble, you should consider removing Webs Gamer.
