Posted: March 1, 2016

BestArcadeHits is a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that may be installed on your computer automatically. PUPs like BestArcadeHits may utilize deceptive marketing techniques whose purpose is to trick people into agreeing to install software they may not want or need unknowingly. For example, BestArcadeHits may be advertised as a useful tool that allows users to access a long list of online games that are fun, engaging, and a great way to lighten your mood quickly. It's a fact that BestArcadeHits does work indeed, but free games will not be the only thing that its installation may bring.

BestArcadeHits may inject unwanted marketing content in your Web browser, and it may configure Windows to start BestArcadeHits automatically, as soon as the computer is started. These actions aren't necessarily threatening, but the ads that BestArcadeHits injects may expose users to disturbing, harmful or irrelevant content. If you have BestArcadeHits installed on your computer, and you notice its ads in your Web browser we advise you to avoid clicking on any links that BestArcadeHits promotes. The BestArcadeHits PUP may use software bundles to spread to as many computers as possible so that one way to avoid this application is to pay close attention to the applications you install. If the on-screen installation instructions of a program include an offer to install BestArcadeHits, we advise you to decline it. If preventing BestArcadeHits' installation is no longer an option, you should remove the program with the help of a trustworthy anti-malware application.
