What is Krazy Joystick Games?

By claiming to allow users to play various addictive arcade games, Krazy Joystick Games often gives the impression of legitimate software. In fact, this application is classed as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

One of the main reasons for these negative associations is stealth installation - Krazy Joystick Games often infiltrates systems without users’ permission. Furthermore, this PUP collects various user/system information and delivers intrusive online advertisements.

Krazy Joystick Games records users' visited websites, pages viewed, search queries, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine geo-location), and other similar data relating to Internet browsing activity. This information may seem insignificant, however, it might contain personally identifiable details that developers of Krazy Joystick Games share with third parties.

There is a high probability that these private details will be misused to generate revenue. Thus, data tracking can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. Krazy Joystick Games employs a 'virtual layer' to generate pop-up, banner, coupon, price comparison, and other similar ads.

The virtual layer enables placement of third party graphical content on any site and, therefore, displayed advertisements often conceal underlying content, thereby diminishing the Internet browsing experience. Furthermore, they might redirect to infectious websites - clicking them risks further high-risk adware or malware infections. For the above reasons, uninstall Krazy Joystick Games adware immediately.

Krazy Joystick Games is very similar to Zombie Invasion, Plants Vs Zombies, Jewel Quest Solitaire, and hundreds of other adware-type applications. 

All adware falsely claims to provide functionality to supposedly improve the Internet browsing experience, however, adware delivers no real value for regular users.

Krazy Joystick Games, and other similar apps, are designed only to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than providing the features promised, adware-type applications collect personally identifiable information, deliver content-concealing advertisements, and occasionally cause unwanted browser redirects.

How did Krazy Joystick Games install on my computer?

Developers of Krazy Joystick Games employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of additional applications/browser plug-ins with regular software.

Users often rush and skip most/all of the download/installation steps. Aware of this lack of attention, developers hide bundled PUPs within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings of these procedures. By skipping this section, users expose their systems to risk of various infections and compromise their privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

To prevent system infiltration by PUPs, be very cautious during the download/installation processes. Analyze each step using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. Furthermore, cancel all additionally-included programs.
