Gamesbot is classified as adware. This potentially unwanted program slithers its way into your system by means of slyness and finesse, and then proceeds to wreak all kinds of havoc. Once the application latches onto your computer, the issues start piling up. For one, shortly after infiltration the tool commences a full-on bombardment of pop-up advertisements. They show up and interrupt you every single time you try to go online. The only way to cease this disturbance is to get rid of the application altogether. If you choose not to, you’re only setting yourself up for a bad time as the obnoxious ads will be the least of your concerns. Due to their continuous appearance, they’ll slow down your computer’s performance to a crawl and also cause frequent system crashes. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Immediately after Gamesbot infects your system, it starts spying on you in an attempt to steal your private information and hand it to malicious third parties with wicked agendas. Make no mistake! If you take no actions towards the removal of this program, it WILL succeed! Are you willing to take such a tremendous risk for such a worthless application?

How did I get infected with?

Gamesbot is required to seek your approval before it installs itself on your computer but don’t think this will help you spot it, because it won’t. This minor detail doesn’t slow it down one bit. It still manages to fool you into allowing it in. In fact, not only that, but it also keeps you oblivious to the fact that you did. More often than not, it sneaks in undetected by hitching a ride with freeware or by hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted links, or websites. It can also pretend to be a bogus system or program update. For example, you may be absolutely sure that you’re updating your Adobe Flash Player or Java, but, in actuality, you’re giving the green light to a malevolent, intrusive, and harmful application. If you wish to avoid getting stuck with adware such as Gamesbot, be more careful! Remember that haste, distraction, and naivety are your enemies, not your friends, and maybe you won’t have to deal with the program’s ever-growing pile of problems.

Why are these ads dangerous?

There’s a reason Gamesbot bombards you with so many pop-ups. It is an ad-supported program, whose entire existence relies on its ability to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the people who support it. Each ad is profit for these individuals, and each click helps the tool continue its operations. That is why it leaves nothing to chance. In order to increase its likelihood of success, the program spends some time merely monitoring you. It studies you so as to know you better. By keeping an eye on your browsing habits, the application learns what your preferences include, what you like and dislike. That way, it has a better idea which ads will appeal to you, spark your interest, and result in a click, i.e. cash. Unfortunately, Gamesbot doesn’t stop at just observing you. As was already mentioned, it spies on you. The application keeps a thorough record of your every move until it determines that it has gathered enough data from you. Then it proceeds to send it to the people behind it. After it falls into their hands, they can do with it whatever they so desire, and you can’t stop them. Just try to imagine what these strangers can do with access to your personal and financial information. Whatever it is, it will hardly have a positive outcome for you. Don’t gamble with your security! Do yourself a favor and get rid of Gamesbot as soon as the first ad pops up. You won’t regret it, and your future self will thank you for it.
