JungleGamer is adware that is related to a gaming platform that can be found at junglegamer.com. The page contains various online games, allocated in seven different categories. JungleGamer is safe, and some people may enjoy the time spent on it. However, a lot of games have desktop versions – you are required to download and install them on your PC to play them. Regretfully these games may bring adware to your system. The questionable application also may come in a set with other programs with a free license. JungleGamer is an add-on that may be applied to the most popular browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Once the adware enters, you may notice an extension in all of your Web clients and not only the default one. The main purpose of this questionable tool is to redirect you to the sites of its partners. It uses various approaches to accomplish this mission. For example, JungleGamer may manipulate search results or even change the search provider. JungleGamer may show links leading to affiliated platforms at the best positions. There may be no indication whatsoever that these results are sponsored. The adware also may create additional banners, pop-ups, pop-unders, transitional ads, interstitial ads, etc. You may notice them regularly as you browse the Internet. They may not appear solely on e-commerce platforms but in the majority of sites that you view. The process may become extremely annoying, especially when you take in mind that you cannot disable them easily. You should know that nothing can guarantee that all sites in the vast partner network of JungleGamer are safe. Some of them may attempt to infect or trick you. Ignoring the ads is not a suitable solution because they also may disrupt the performance of the browsers noticeably. The recommended way to clean your browsers from the adware is to scan the PC with an advanced security application.
