feed.game-jungle.com popups - How to remove

feed.game-jungle.com popups are generated by the Game Jungle browser plug-in that people install to play games online. Unfortunately, Game Jungle can be classified as a browser hijacker and even adware. The reason is that the main goal of this extension is to show advertisements to you, at the cost of a pleasant web browsing experience.

Game Jungle replaces the homepage and, instead of the default search engine, you now use feed.game-jungle.com — which is just results taken from Yahoo with many advertisements added on top. You might also find that your browser settings allow notifications for install.game-jungle.com and affiliated pages, which can result in distracting popups. feed.game-jungle.com also tracks the user to learn their habits and be able to serve targeted ads. And the ads are not always of great quality, and lower quality ads can be dishonest and even malicious.

Why should Game Jungle be avoided?

The search engine getting replaced could affect your search results and privacy. The search results are the main way that feed.game-jungle.com delivers advertisements to you, after all. Privacy is not protected: your searches are tracked, the information used to tailor future ads to you.

Besides the search results page, feed.game-jungle.com injects advertisements into your visited websites — even when you are not on game-jungle, your experience will still be affected. The advertisements can be intrusive, distracting — negatively affecting your browsing experience and productivity. Plus, too many ads can slow down an older computer, straining its CPU. I’ve certainly noticed the fan getting louder when I visit a site that has colourful and animated ads dancing all around the screen.

You might be redirected to sponsor and affiliated pages occasionally, some encouraging you to allow their notifications, to install their extensions.

Worst are the dishonest and even malicious ads that slip through and can be shown by Game Jungle. Some advertising networks cannot afford to have a great review process for their ads, allowing malicious ones to slip through and hundreds or even thousands of people to see them. Malicious ads which might result in:

  • unwanted software being downloaded unknowingly (drive-by download),
  • fake security warnings tricking into giving away their money, information, and access to their computer (more about tech support scams).

How did it get installed?

  • Through dishonest advertisements:
    A lot of malware is advertised as useful tools, they can be downloaded from professional looking pages, have great reviews, etc. Document converters and managers, and PC optimisers are especially associated with malware due to their history of being either scareware, or adware.
  • Through malicious advertisements:
    Visiting a website or clicking on a malicious ad can result in Drive-by installs of unwanted software, for example, crypto miners.
  • Bundled with other plugins:
    Some plugins similar to Game Jungle, after installing them, immediately prompt the user to download more extensions rather than tell them that the process is complete. The impression that the installation is still ongoing is given, and a careless user might consent to extensions that he is unfamiliar with being installed.
  • By software bundling with free programs:
    Some free software is distributed with installers which include additional applications. If the user isn’t careful enough, he might not even know that more apps than the one he wanted are being installed. These can be avoided by carefully looking through all options during the installation.

These methods of distributing software are unethical and should make one suspicious of the developers. Honest software generally is honest about how it makes money. Game Jungle seems to be a lot like adware — software that displays advertisements when you browse the internet. Indeed, marketing seems to be the main function of the feed.game-jungle.com search engine.

In the future make sure to research each program, application, and extension that you wish to install to find out if other people have had problems with it.

How to remove Game Jungle

Browser plugins and notification permissions should be examined and removed as needed. Research each plugin and website if you are unsure about it. You can remove them manually and there is a guide below for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

In case some potentially unwanted programs were installed on your computer, you can remove them using the Control Panel. I also recommend scanning your system with Spyhunter to catch any remaining malicious programs.
