About PuzzleGamesDaily adware
Even though it’s described as useful and free application that will provide you with various puzzle games everyday, this is not true. Once inside PuzzleGamesDaily will flood all your web browsers with annoying advertisements in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.
PuzzleGamesDaily works as browser add-on and is completely compatible with all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or even Safari. This means that Apple users can get infected as well.
We do not recommend to click on any of those ads displayed by PuzzleGamesDaily because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

So if you want to avoid this happening, always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware and keep your computer secured with trustworthy anti-malware application.
