Don’t rely on ArcadeIsle to be enjoyable. If anything, it’s only enjoyable for hackers. According to this program’s official website, “ArcadeIsle is an exciting gaming portal that offers tons of free games”. Lies. It offers malware, various threats, privacy issues and serious dangers. And none of this is exciting. The reason why ArcadeIsle has such a sugary facade is to trick you into installing it, respectively keeping it on board. Therefore, you have to do the exact opposite. ArcadeIsle has been classified as adware as well as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This thing is harmful. Disguised as a gaming platform, the sneaky ArcadeIsle virus could easily cause you irreversible damage. You simply cannot afford to trust something that was never supposed to be trustworthy. ArcadeIsle’s shenanigans begin the minute your computer gets compromised. They include random unauthorized modifications of your browser settings and tons of undesirable pop-ups. In case you didn’t know, ArcadeIsle is ad-supported. That means the more commercials it generates, the more profit hackers will gain. As you could imagine, once this virus gets activated, you will not be able to get rid of commercials. We’re talking pop-up ads, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads, numerous discounts/coupons/product deals/product offers/best prices/price comparisons, etc. Quite an impressive pile of advertisements, don’t you think? The problem is,  ArcadeIsle’s ads are unreliable. As mentioned already, those pop-ups get displayed for monetizing purposes only and have nothing to do with your safety. There might be some incredibly dangerous ad on your PC screen waiting for you to click it. Once you do, you end up on a questionable website thus automatically installing malware. Is malware what you need right now, though? To prevent further damage (which should be your first priority online), stay away from the ads. Remember, if you’re currently seeing a certain commercial, you’re only seeing it because hackers want you to. You’re practically becoming crooks’ sponsor by keeping ArcadeIsle on your machine instead of deleting it ASAP. No matter how attractive the commercials may seem to be, no matter how much money they promise you’ll save, keep in mind that this is a trap. Hackers have absolutely no reason whatsoever to enhance your online shopping experience. And hackers are standing behind ArcadeIsle. Restrain yourself from clicking anything brought to you by the parasite. That also includes third-party pop-ups and even software updates. This program is notoriously deceptive. As if that wasn’t enough, ArcadeIsle slows the PC speed to a crawl and causes your browsers to often crash and freeze. The sooner you uninstall this pest, the better.

How did I get infected with?

The most popular virus distribution technique at the moment is freeware/shareware bundling. Do you often download bundled programs off of the Internet? You probably do. And do you often pay close attention to the entire installation process step by step? You probably don’t. Even though PC users could easily prevent malware infiltration, unfortunately, most of them fail to do so. For one thing, they rush the installation. It’s quite obvious that if you rush the installation, you will remain oblivious to the programs that get downloaded as a part of the bundle. There might be a bonus infection attached to the safe software. Or, even worse, there might be a whole bouquet of infections in the bundle. To protect your safety, opt for the Custom option in the Setup Wizard instead of the Basic one. This way you will be able to spot and deselect any potential intruder before it manages to land on board. Also, take your time to check out the Terms and Conditions or End User License Agreement (EULA). No, it’s not a particularly fun thing to do but it may keep your computer infection-free. Last but not least, stay away from illegitimate software.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The pesky ArcadeIsle advertisements are impressively annoying. Surfing the Web is certainly no longer a fun experience when you’re forced to deal with useless commercial on a daily basis. These ads are very stubborn and intrusive as they cover all websites you’re attempting to visit. Being compatible with three of the most commonly used browsers out there, ArcadeIsle infects Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Once the virus adds its malicious extension, consider all your browsers unreliable. From this moment on your PC screen will be constantly flooded with unwanted, unsafe commercials. Also, get ready to be redirected to equally unknown and unsafe websites. Instead of arcade games, ArcadeIsle brings to you potential threats and issues. It also collects your browsing history, search queries, passwords/usernames and other browsing-related data so hackers could sell it later on. Your personally identifiable information, however, isn’t safe either. To get rid of this parasite manually, please follow the detailed removal guide that you will find down below.
