The 'League of Angels' ads is a common symptom of the installation of unwanted software and browser add-ons, particularly browser hijackers and adware. Because of a recent rise in the rates of the 'League of Angels' ads-related browser issues, malware researchers have started looking into the sources of these problems, in the process finding that the majority of them are caused by programs that are installed automatically. While the advertisement topic may be new, adware that causes the 'League of Angels' ads still can be removed by the same anti-adware tools and techniques that would be advised against any similar browser add-on that has functions not geared for your personal benefit.
The League of Angels is a free-to-play browser MMORPG that's less well-known for its game play elements than for its risque and invasive advertising campaigns. Besides being featured prominently on disreputable websites known for the circulation of pirated content, the 'League of Angels' ads also have been seen being loaded by Potentially Unwanted Programs along with potentially threatening software. Typical incidents involving the 'League of Angels' ads have been linked to bundle-based software installers, which malware experts often find guilty of installing adware automatically (or while misrepresenting the nature of the relevant software).
Barely-clad 'angels' are central to the theme of this online game, which has lead to many victims of unwanted 'League of Angels' ads objecting to the unwanted display of this 'not safe for work' style content. Although malware researchers have not uncovered any negative behavior associated with GTArcade Entertainment, the company behind the 'League of Angels' ads campaign, GTArcade does have a reputation for poor player-monetizing practices, along with their many ties to unwanted programs and unsafe websites. Playing the game or interacting with any 'League of Angels' ads is not as threatening as directly engaging with a criminal website, misleading o threat site, but is undertaken at your own risk.
