FreeGamesZone Removal Guide

FreeGamesZone is a questionable Google Chrome extension that sets your new tab page to search.ask.com with a modified top. After analyzing this browser extension, we cannot say that it is beneficial for you; on the contrary, as a matter of fact, there are certain traits that make this extension unreliable. Therefore, we have categorized it as a potentially unwanted program, i.e., PUP. This means that it is not a dangerous threat to your computer, but it does have some hidden potentials to cause some security issues. In this article we would like to share with you in more details what we have found out about this PUP. Protecting your computer against tools and programs that might cause harm is very important in order to keep it smoothly operating. That is why we recommend removing FreeGamesZone from your system. There are lots of other tools out there if you are fond of online games. So why not choose a reliable one instead?

FreeGamesZone offers you easy-access links to “all the best games in one click.” These include action, sport, puzzle, girls and kids games as well. This PUP also provides a search engine search.ask.com, which is set as your new tab page when you install the extension. This search engine page is a customized one that includes a toolbar-looking top for the aforementioned links and uses Ask.com as the provider of search results. However, FreeGamesZone has the capability to modify the search results. This PUP may collect information about you that may be used to identify your preferences, likes, and needs so that targeted ads or links can be inserted among the results. This might hold some dangers for you and your system, since these links might take you to unsafe websites. And what can happen when you land on a malicious website? You may be tricked into downloading malware infections that are disguised as driver updates, or even worse, you may be scammed to share your banking details with criminals. No matter how schemers might take advantage of you, it is important that you avoid such encounters. If you delete FreeGamesZone, you are one step closer to safety.

There are two ways for FreeGamesZone to end up on your computer. You can either directly install it from its official website, freegameszonetab.com, or you can download it in a freeware bundle. There is also a third possibility. We have also found adware pop-ups that promote this PUP, which is a rather shady method to distribute programs. Not that the bundled versions are any better. In fact, these software packages may contain malware infections, which is real bad news for you. If you are not careful during the installation, that may result in a bunch of threats on your computer. Deleting FreeGamesZone will not be sufficient to handle this situation. You will also need to scan your PC with a malware scanner to see if there is any infection present. If so, you must act ASAP.

If you see now why it is better for you to get rid of FreeGamesZone, you will find it a relief that it is very easy to say good-bye to this PUP. All you need to do is remove the extension from Google Chrome. Please follow our instructions below the article if you are not familiar with the necessary steps. But do not forget that there may be malware infections on your computer that may be actively endangering its operation right now. For those, we recommend using a reliable antimalware application, such as SpyHunter, which can automatically eliminate all threats and protect your PC.
