Arcade Safari Virus - How to remove

Arcade Safari virus is an adware owned by EpicPlay LLC that when installed starts displaying pop-up and in-text advertisements, special offers, deals and coupons.

Alas, not many read this software’s Terms of Use before installing a game:

Premium Games are offered free of charge at the Site in exchange for your agreement to install the ArcadeSafari Software (the “Software”). The Software will allow us to display third party applications as well as text link, popup/under, transitional and banner advertisements on your computer based on the information we collect from you as described in the Privacy Policy.
