What is KraKra Games?
If you have downloaded the KraKra Games extension onto your Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox web browser, you should have noticed that advertisements have started flooding via your browser. The add-on is introduced to users when they play online games at krakragames.com, and it, allegedly, can give you “access to thousands of games you can play for free.” The suspicious extension is presented at krakragames.com/games/lander.php?, and Google Chrome users can also find it on the Chrome web store (chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/krakragames/jjnipfcfcddhgepeneeedbiophaehhkb). Although this official source exists, the extension can be spread using unreliable installers, bundled with other questionable pieces of software. Overall, regardless of how the adware (advertising-supported software) got in, you should consider deleting it. If you are inexperienced, or you have no idea why you should remove KraKra Games from your operating system, keep on reading, and you will get all of the answers. If we fail, and you want to ask more questions, do not hesitate to do so via the comments section below. Our Anti-Spyware-101.com research team will help you as soon as possible.
How does KraKra Games work?
KraKra Games is basically identical to BlastGamesNetwork (BrainyZanyGames), which is another ad-supported program that, allegedly, can help users access games for free. The true purpose of both of these programs is to deliver ads while you browse the web. According to the Privacy Policy that represents the suspicious KraKra Games (krakragames.com/games/privacy.php?), information – which also includes personal information – is collected using cookies to help with the presentation of relevant advertisements. Cookies are sent to the browser from the website to record and transmit data. Other data-trackers used by the program include “beacons, tags, and scripts.” This is why the manual removal instructions you can see below also show how to clear browsing data. Even if you delete the undesirable adware successfully, the data trackers could continue spying on you, and you can rectify that by clearing browser data. Of course, if you find the games provided via krakragames.com and by the suspicious adware fun, you might not care about privacy issues, cookies, data-tracking tools, and advertisements themselves. That is a huge mistake. In fact, suspicious ads are the number-one reason to remove this adware.
Advertisements might appear to be harmless, especially if they are selected according to recent searches and your browsing history. The data-trackers could, potentially, record and analyze your activity to see what kinds of search keywords you enter most frequently or which keywords can be used to offer you something you already desire. Let’s say you have recently looked up “free malware removal software.” If ads promoting anti-malware software can be delivered via KraKra Games adware, they are delivered right away. Unfortunately, no one can tell whether or not these ads can be trusted. Malvertising exists, and that is when falsely attractive offers are set up to trick users into interacting with ads that can route to malicious websites or that can activate drive-by download attacks. Ads could also showcase surveys and prize giveaways that might be set up to record highly personal information. Needless to say, we CANNOT advise interacting with ads. Instead, you should get rid of them, and you need to remove the adware for that.
How to remove KraKra Games
Trusting the advertisements presented by KraKra Games is not a good idea because you do not know what exactly would happen if you interacted with them. Of course, it is possible that harmless and possibly even useful advertisements exist, but they might be indistinguishable from malicious and misleading ads. Since there is a possibility that interacting with unreliable advertisements could be risky, we suggest getting rid of them as soon as possible. How can you get rid of the ads? You can do that most successfully by deleting KraKra Games, and the instructions you can find below show how to eliminate this adware from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers manually. Of course, you should consider installing anti-malware software first. Not only can it automatically delete existing threats but also ensure protection against them in the future. Our research team definitely recommends installing it.
