Where does Playzy come from?
During our research, we did not encounter any official website that would distribute Playzy directly. It is not surprising because Playzy is created by the same developers as Wajam adware. Hence, just like most of the adware applications from the same family, this program also gets distributed bundled with freeware.
For example, it was found that Playzy may sometimes arrive bundled with PC Optimizer Pro and similar potentially unwanted programs. This also means that users download unwanted applications on their own. If you want to avoid the likes of Playzy getting installed on your computer, you should refrain from downloading freeware on a regular basis. If you must have a new program, get it from an official website.
What does Playzy do?
When Playzy enters your computer, this application adds extension to the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox web browsers. Google Chrome does not seem to be affected, but even if the Playzy does not appear on your browser, you have to keep in mind that the program gets installed on your PC!
Technically, Playzy should provide you with direct access to online games. However, most of the games it provides are poorly developed. What’s more, Playzy clearly displays countless commercial advertisements that are mostly tailored according to your web browsing habits. This proves that Playzy employs tracking cookies to collect information on what websites you visit.
This would not cause any concern if there were no third-party exploitation possibility. Unfortunately, Playzy can be easily misused by cyber criminals to promote their content. Therefore, you should get rid of this application as soon as possible.
