As the GamesFlight creators state themselves, they do not review or take responsibility for the displayed third-party ads.

YourOptimizer
YourOptimizer is a suspicious application that does not provide such crucial documents as Terms of Use or Privacy Policy. What makes it look even more doubtful is that the software scans your computer, but when you want to fix the issues, it asks to update your current version. Of course, the upgrade comes not free of charge as you have to pay about 10 US dollars. Perhaps it does not look expensive, but you may spend money on a questionable application that cannot even work as it should. On the other hand, without the Terms of Use statements, there are no explanations how the program is actually supposed to work. ...
Content Cleaner
Content Cleaner is supposed to be a useful application that can remove unwanted, old, and unnecessary files and content from your computer, but, unfortunately, we have found a few worrisome traits that made us label it as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). We cannot call this program itself a dangerous beast and we also cannot claim that it poses a direct threat to your system security. However, its presence can take its toll indirectly, for example, due to the questionable distribution methods this PUP uses to sneak onto computers. ...
SocialNewPage
We want to inform you about SocialNewPage, a browser extension that we have categorized as a potentially unwanted program for its questionable behavior and the fact that it does not provide a real service. Therefore, we recommend that you remove this application from your computer as soon as the opportunity arises. This application’s promotional campaign claims that this app will enable you to connect with your friends faster, but all it does is providing you with links to various social media websites. Furthermore, it is set to hijack your browser’s homepage and force you to use an unreliable search engine. ...
DatingSmith
DatingSmith is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that is available on datingsmith.com. Besides the installer on the official site, the application could also spread through bundled software installers. If you have the program on your system, you may have already noticed that the application displays a few dating sites that could change from time to time. What’s more, it might also show you third-party ads and other unreliable content. Most of the pop-ups should be clickable, so they could lead you to potentially harmful sites. Avoiding such content might help you at the moment, but this way you would still have a suspicious application on your system. ...
MakeMoneyStar
MakeMoneyStar is another application that claims to help you “Earn extra cash from your desktop.” We have heard such slogans many times before, and they are a mark of an untrustworthy application. In reality, this application is a mere adware-type program, and we suggest that you remove it because it is quite unreliable. While testing this program, we have discovered that its owners are more than likely to do business with shady entities that might want this program to advertise scam websites or malware. ...
