PressGamer is an adware extension that may seem worthy to the fans of online games. In theory, PressGamer should display pop-ups promoting new games with positive user feedback. Thus, you may expect PressGamer to make your time on the computer more enjoyable. In reality, however, PressGamer may cause an array of problems. PressGamer functions as the majority of ad-oriented programs. The main purpose of PressGamer may not be to assist you but generate revenues for its developers by spreading questionable third-party software and transferring you to the corresponding sites. One of the reasons explaining why a lot of users don't appreciate this adware concerns its distribution. Not everyone who has this unreliable extension downloaded PressGamer from its official page. In some cases, PressGamer sneaks in unnoticed in combination with other applications. This process is called bundling. It may be very efficient for those users who don't read details or install programs via the 'Quick' menu. Fortunately, if you select the 'Advanced' path, you should be able to keep additional unwanted components away from your PC. When PressGamer enters, it will quickly attach towards all browsers that you have in your system. PressGamer is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. The adware may start showing pop-ups, banners, interstitial ads or even videos on a regular basis. However, not all of them may be promoting online games to you. PressGamer checks your surfing history to get a clue about your interests. If it notices that you often visit the sites of airplane companies, the extension may start offering you plane tickets. The experts don't encourage you to install any software promoted by PressGamer. You should also stay away from the affiliated domains. The reason to ignore them concerns the well-being of your PC. The most efficient way to stop the loading of the listed commercial materials is to delete this adware with a professional security utility.
