FirstFlix

FirstFlix is an adware application that modifies your computer’s DNS settings and allows potentially harmful third-party content to enter. In fact, the application claims that it changes DNS settings to allow users access U.S-restricted content, but we doubt it as the application seems to be working in a different manner. Therefore, instead of Geo-restricted content, you should see numerous advertisements from third-party partners. Undoubtedly, they should be avoided if you want to keep your computer protected from malware. Users who have the program installed should get rid of it as soon as possible. However, the manual removal instructions below might seem too complicated if you do not have much experience.
