So you’ve noticed the irritating Gamer Safari ads, haven’t you? Then consider your computer infected. Gamer Safari is a potentially unwanted adware parasite that quickly demolishes your entire browsing activity even though it’s supposed to be perfectly safe and even useful. According to its official website, Gamer Safari is an “exciting gaming portal that offers thousands of free games”. It also offers random advertisements (very intrusive and very unreliable) and a rich assortment of other issues. If you take a closer look at the Gamer Safari page, you will get a pretty good idea of how this thing works. Being extremely chaotic, very colorful and filled with ads, the website is designed to convince you that you need Gamer Safari in your life. Instead of bringing fun to you, however, it will only bring you annoyance, confusion and security threats. There are hundreds of reliable gaming platforms out there; don’t risk your cyber safety using this one.

How did I get infected with?

As you probably already figured out, there is no download option to be seen in the Gamer Safari website. This is a classic sign of adware so if you’ve had previous experience with similar infections, this will certainly come as no surprise. Gamer Safari usually applies sneaky techniques so instead of waiting for you to install it, the parasite takes the initiative and kindly installs itself. However, this type of kindness could turn out to be catastrophic. This virus travels the web mainly in freeware bundles which makes it incredibly easy for you to get infected. All that Gamer Safari’s developers need to do is attach their parasite to some free programs. What would happen next is entirely up to you. You could either deselect the parasite on time and deny Gamer Safari access to the PC system thus saving your future self tons of nerves and energy OR you could carelessly click “next” and end up compromising your own computer. The choice is yours.

Why are these ads dangerous?

First things first, Gamer Safari is extremely annoying. The parasite was created to serve only one purpose and it has absolutely nothing to do with your cyber security. As a typical adware virus, Gamer Safari aims to generate web traffic which means all of its attractive features and colorful games are nothing but a camouflage. In reality adware parasites are a very convenient way for hackers to generate illegal profit but, of course, that doesn’t mean you have to be a part of their schemes. In order to gain money, Gamer Safari’s developers display commercials and in order to so, they need the active cooperation of your browsers. The parasite adds its malicious extension to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer so it basically takes down all the most commonly used browsers on the Web. This gives the parasite endless possibilities to wreak havoc all over your PC because the rogue Gamer Safari extension is responsible for all the pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, in-texts and hyperlinks that you see on the computer screen. It’s incredibly irrelevant whether you’re interested in seeing the ads or not but to be honest, once Gamer Safari infiltrates the machine, your consent is no longer important. Furthermore, all the commercials  are unreliable and potentially very harmful as the virus generates all kinds of web links. Even if the commercial you click isn’t corrupted (which would mean you’re rather lucky) and you don’t infect your PC further, it could still be fake and steal your money without offering anything in exchange. Our advice is to strictly avoid all links, ads and even program updates while Gamer Safari is present on your machine because this parasite could cause you great damage if you allow it. As if everything so far wasn’t enough, Gamer Safari also monitors your browser activity so cyber crooks could use it later on to generate profit at your expense. There is absolutely no logical reason to keep this pesky piece of malware on your computer so it’s highly recommended that you delete it as soon as possibly. In order to do so manually, please follow the comprehensive removal guide below.
