If your Web clients start displaying commercial materials by GenieGamer, then they are affected by an adware extension. GenieGame probably reached your PC when you downloaded a game from Geniegamer.com. This platform contains different online games allocated into over a dozen categories. The fans of puzzles, strategy games, casino and driving simulators or shooters can find something appealing. This site is not threatening – as long as you play the games via the browser, you should be safe. However, some of them don't launch directly but ask you to download and install them on your PC. If you do it, you may load the adware extension together with the game accidentally. The experts encourage you always to load such freeware via the more complex 'Custom' guide. It may take you a little more time than usual, but you should be able to uncheck the suggested bonus applications that may cause trouble. GenieGamer is an extension that may attach towards Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You will certainly notice its presence immediately after you go online because GenieGamer may modify the shape of the browsers thoroughly. The first change that you may face is associated with your homepage. GenieGamer may promote a low-quality search provider, which you should not trust. The majority of unknown search engines have only one purpose, which is not to optimize the process of finding information. They try to redirect the user towards partner sites, some of which may be unsafe. As you move on, you may detect various pop-ups, banners or gifs with the slogan 'Brought by GenieGamer.' These commercial materials may be very stubborn and aggressive. They may appear constantly no matter where you go. Their loading may result in a slower operating speed of your Web clients, or even occasional freezes. It is advisable to eliminate GenieGamer with a credible security utility.
