What is FutureGames?

FutureGames could be an application that provides you with the latest online games, but, instead, this is just a simple, useless, ad-supported program. Although our malware specialists have noticed some relevance to games in the form of gaming website advertisements, this adware is bad news for you and your computer. It is very likely that you did not even install it, but it infiltrated your system in a freeware bundle. Therefore, it is quite possible that you already have several infections on your PC, attacking your system as you are reading these lines. If you fail to act in time, you might have to face even more security issues. Removing FutureGames is a good start if you want to restore the health of your Windows operating system. test test test

Where does FutureGames come from?

If you try to Google an application with such a name, it is almost impossible to find any information about it. Even if FutureGames had a website, there is little chance that you would easily find it unless, of course, you know the URL address. Our researchers did find the EULA at t.theplaora.com/FutureGames/eula.html, but found no other sign of a functioning website. You can already guess that this adware does not spread by users' downloading it directly from the official site. So, how, then, is it spread?

As a matter of fact, FutureGames is distributed via free software bundles that may contain other malware infections. If not having an official site makes an application somewhat questionable, being bundled with other threats makes it even more suspicious. This should be more than enough to make you want to delete FutureGames right away. But, if you install the whole package, this adware will only be part of your problems.However, it is important for you to know that there is a way you can prevent infections from entering your computer. First, you need to be careful what kind of freeware sites you use for downloading free software. Second, you need to make sure you know exactly what kind of additional tools and programs the bundle contains so that you can say no to the ones you do not want on your PC.
