What is GamerHippo?
Online gaming sites are very popular, but not all of them can be trusted. Some of these sites might be used to introduce you to suspicious programs, such as GamerHippo. This program is installed as an application on compatible Windows operating systems and as an extension on Mozilla Firefox. If you install this program, you will be able to play the Gold Games that are presented via gamerhippo.com. At first, you might think that the installer that pops up on your screen represents the game you want to watch, but, as soon as the installer setup appears, it becomes clear that you are being forced into installing an unfamiliar program. Of course, most users do not care much about this because, in return, they are allowed to play the games they want. Regardless of the services you receive, you should delete GamerHippo.
How does GamerHippo act?
GamerHippo is an online game manager that not only provides access to games, but also creates a shortcut to an online gaming website. Such suspicious programs as ArcadeHall and BestArcadeHits are represented in the same manner. Even though we do not know if these programs were created by the same company, they are very similar, and they are recognized as potentially unwanted programs. The reason for this is that besides fulfilling the promises it gives users it also showcases advertisements. These ads can show up on the sites promoting these PUPs as well. Unfortunately, it is very likely that the banner ads showcased by these programs are unreliable. If you do not fall for scams or get tricked into installing unreliable software, it is best to keep away from these ads at all times. Of course, unreliable software could already be active on your operating system if you have installed the program bundled with unfamiliar software.
We do not know how many users install GamerHippo using the services of third-party software distributors, but we know that many of them do. If you have installed this potentially unwanted program with other browsers extensions, adware, or unfamiliar programs, it is smart to examine them. If you find that these programs are dangerous, you need to get rid of them as soon as possible. If you interact with unfamiliar programs without inspecting them first, you might encounter monstrous security problems. Do you want to risk your virtual security due to reckless behavior? Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers are sure you do not.
