Yayzap is an unreliable ad-based extension that is related to Yayzap.com. The page looks like an ordinary platform for online games. You may find content suitable for your taste because Yayzap allocates the games in various categories. Some of them may launch directly into the Web browser. They are safe to play. The site is not associated with a threatening activity directly. If you are encouraged to update Java or Adobe, you can do it safely without the risks of loading harmful applications. However, if you download some of the games to your PC, they also may activate the Yayzap adware. This suspicious extension is cross-compatible, which means Yayzap will attach towards Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You should know its purpose to understand why keeping this dubious program is not recommended. The developers of Yayzap benefit from pay-per-click and pay-per-install commissions. Whenever their application transfers the users toward sponsored third-party domains or makes them install promoted software, they will receive money. Naturally, these people will try to maintain a huge partner network for more profits. It is almost impossible to track hundreds of affiliated sites for irregularities. The majority of companies that create adware don't even bother to try. As a result, some of the sponsored platforms may start spreading threatening software. They also may try to trick the visitors into paying money for nothing or call bogus technical support agents. If Yayzap transfers you to such page, your security and the performance of the PC may be put at risk. Yayzap may use different tactics to make you visit its partners. Yayzap may generate various commercial materials like pop-ups, banners, videos, interstitial ads and transitional ads. The loading of these elements may lead to speed drops or other bugs. Yayzap also may manipulate your searches, thus redirecting you towards affiliated domains without your knowledge. Once you detect this adware, it is advisable to use special security software to delete Yayzap for good.
