What is Learn 2 Fly 2?
Developed by Rapid Advance, Learn 2 Fly 2 is a bogus app that supposedly allows users to play addictive Flash games - "Insanely Addictive High-Flying Adventure! Learn to Fly is back in this playful but creative physics game sequel in which (our hero) once again suits up to prove to the world once and for all that penguins aren’t useless flightless birds!" On initial inspection, this app may seem legitimate and useful, however, it is considered to be adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). After stealth infiltration on the system, Learn 2 Fly 2 adware displays intrusive online advertisements and monitors Internet browsing activity.
The types of displayed advertisements include pop-up, banner, in-text, interstitial, among others. To display these ads, Learn 2 Fly 2 employs a virtual layer, which allows placement of any third party graphical content on visited websites. Some ads open in new browser tabs or windows, thereby increasing the chance of accidental user clicks. These ads diminish the Internet browsing experience by concealing underlying content, and also by redirecting users to various websites. Most of these sites are online stores or other similar e-commerce websites, however, some may be infectious - clicking them can lead to high-risk computer infections. Furthermore, this app collects various user information, storing it on a remote server. Some users may may be unaware that IP addresses, websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, language settings, browser type, and other collected details might contain personally identifiable information. Since this information is later shared with third parties, having Learn 2 Fly 2 installed on your system can result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall this app from your system immediately.
Learn 2 Fly 2 Privacy Policy regarding information sharing:
We may share the information that We collect about You, including personal information collectively, "information"), as follows: ... Other Third Parties. We may disclose the information We collect about You to other third-parties for marketing, advertising, research, products and/ or other services. ...
Learn 2 Fly 2 share has many similarities with Jewel Quest Solitaire, Plants Vs Zombies, Blasteroids, and hundreds of other apps. Although they promise to enable useful features, all are classed as adware. Adware-type apps are designed to trick users to install and then to display intrusive online adverts and collect personally identifiable information to generate revenue for the developers. These applications provide no real value for the user.
How did Learn 2 Fly 2 install on my computer?
Although Learn 2 Fly 2 has an official website, it is often distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of third party apps with the chosen software. Many users do not express enough caution when downloading and installing software, which makes this method very effective. By skipping steps (including the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' section, where most rogue apps are hidden), users inadvertently install bogus software. The developers are concerned only with the amount of revenue generated (which is dependent on the number of apps distributed), and thus, do not properly disclose installation of bogus apps.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
The key to computer safety is caution. Pay close attention when downloading and installing software. Do not rush the download procedure and follow each step to ensure that only the selected software is downloaded. Furthermore, choose the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical' - this will reveal any third party software listed for installation and allow you to opt-out.
