FantastiGames Removal Guide

FantastiGames is a potentially unwanted program published by Exent Technologies Ltd. This program promises to help you play and download games, which is why it is generally identified as an online game manager; however, we classify it as a PUP due to several different reasons. First of all, this program is advertising-supported, and it is likely to show ads promoting third-party services whenever you interact with any games or visit the site they are represented at. This program is not presented in an official manner at fantastigames.com; however, you might be introduced to it when downloading certain games onto your computer. Needless to say, if you come in contact with unfamiliar software, you need to review it. The last thing you should do is install software without knowing how it works. Please continue reading to learn if you need to delete FantastiGames as well.

There is no doubt that FantastiGames is advertising-supported. The information on the official sites states that advertisements "based on non-personally identifiable information" can be shown if you download this software. The good news is that this potentially unwanted program does not collect personal, sensitive information. The bad news is that such non-personally identifiable information as your browsing history could still be used to scam you. While we do not claim that the creator of this PUP is interested in scamming you, the advertisers capable of using this advertising platform could expose you to unreliable, misleading offers. Whether you encounter banner ads, pop-ups, or other kinds of ads, our advice is to stay away from them. Even reliable-looking ads could turn out to be malicious, and this is why it is risky to interact with any of them. If you are not careful, you could even let in malware, and, if you do, you would need to delete it as well.

FantastiGames.com is hosted on 94.31.0.55 IP. The geographical location of this IP was tracked back to Tel Aviv, and it appears that users located in the United States make up 33.9% of all visitors. Needless to say, it is likely that this site attracts users from all over the world because its services are universal. Even if you just play the games provided via this site without installing any software, you are likely to be exposed to ads, and information about your activity is likely to be recorded to some extent. Of course, if you install the PUP, you will be in much more trouble because this program adds a ton of registry keys to the Windows Registry and creates a bunch of files that might be scattered across the computer. Unfortunately, this potentially unwanted program hooks so deep into your operating system that it is not enough to just uninstall it.

Did you install FantastiGames by itself? Some users acquire this program when downloading games from the aforementioned website. Unfortunately, it is also possible to attract this program by interacting with unreliable, malicious software bundles. Third-party software distributors could use the attractive game manager to conceal other infections, or it itself could be hidden behind other attractive-looking programs. The important question is: Can you detect and remove third-party malware? As you now know, eliminating the PUP is a complicated task, and, depending on the infections that could be active on your PC, you might have to perform additional malware removal steps, which makes the entire situation even more complicated. If you are not ready for this, we have an alternative solution for you.

Have you ever thought about protecting your operating system? We are sure you have, and it is likely that it was protected at one point or another. Well, keeping your PC guarded is extremely important; otherwise, malicious programs will enter again and again, and every single one of them could do a lot of damage. Whether you choose to delete FantastiGames manually (as shown below) or using an automatic malware remover, make sure you implement reliable security software. If you are trying to clean your system and protect it at the same time, you can install an anti-malware tool, SpyHunter. Update this software regularly to make sure that it guards you reliably against all recent computer infections. Can you spot the comments section below?
