DynamiteArcade - How to remove

DynamiteArcade (or Dynamite Arcade) is similar to such free online gaming websites as FunOnlinePlay, GamesCake, etc. These gaming platforms have a lot in common. First and foremost, they aim at installing adware-type applications onto your computer. It seems to be their sole source of income. So they are keen on displaying advertising content of some 3rd parties they are being paid by.

About DynamiteArcade Adware

Though dynamitearcade.com promotes itself as a free online gaming platform, it has its way of alluring naive users into downloading and installing its application. It has a category of games, called Premium, including such games as Candy Soda Pop, Swing Copters, etc., that can be accessed only if the browser extension is installed. Thus, users who have already hooked on playing games by DynamiteArcade may be enticed to play those games, which means that they will install the rogue extension which will bring a lot of trouble. The browser add-on will display advertisements like pop-ups, links, banners, interstitial, full window ads, etc. These adverts will be marked as “Ads by DynamiteArcade“, “Ad by DynamiteArcade“, “Powered by DynamiteArcade” or “Brought by DynamiteArcade“. They will promote various products and services, installation of other rogue software and its updates.

Furthermore, Ads by DynamiteArcade redirect to questionable 3rd party websites. This adware application do not check its affiliates for security-related purposes nor it cares for your privacy as it tracks your browsing history and sells it to 3rd party so that they could make personalized ads. Additionally, DynamiteArcade may stealthily setup other kindred modules onto your browser.
