What is Farm Frenzy 2?

The Farm Frenzy 2 app supposedly allows users to play an addictive Flash-based farming simulator. On initial inspection, this functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, this app is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). After stealth infiltration on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, Farm Frenzy 2 displays intrusive online advertisements and collects various Internet browsing-related information.

Farm Frenzy 2 displays pop-ups, coupons, banners, and other similar ads by employing a virtual layer, which allows placement of various graphical content on any website visited. Note that the displayed content does not originate from the visited website. Furthermore, some of these ads may open in new browser tabs or windows. The displayed advertisements hide the underlying website content and users must continually avoid clicking these ads, and thus, the Internet browsing experience is significantly diminished. The generated advertisements redirect to various websites that may contain infectious content, and therefore, clicking them can result in high-risk computer infections. In addition, Farm Frenzy 2 collects various user information such as IP addresses, websites visited, pages viewed, search queries entered into search engines, pages viewed, and other similar information. This data may contain personally identifiable details, and since it is later shared with third parties, having Farm Frenzy 2 installed on your system might cause serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall this app from your system.

There are hundreds of applications similar to Farm Frenzy 2 including, for example, Mahjong World Contest, Epic War 2, SpeedGuard, and Best Price Ninja.

They are useless to the user and provide no real value.

How did Farm Frenzy 2 install on my computer?

Farm Frenzy 2 is often distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' - stealth installation of third party apps with regular software. Since many users do not pay enough attention and rush the download/installation processes, this method is extremely effective. Bundled apps are usually hidden within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. By skipping this section, users risk inadvertent installation of bogus applications. The amount of revenue developers receive is dependent on the number of applications distributed - thus, they do not properly disclose installation of these apps.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Software should be downloaded from a trusted source - usually the official website. If an official website is unavailable, you may have to use a freeware download website. In this case, select the direct download link (some sites still provide this option). Alternatively, you might be forced to use a 'download manager' - in this situation, closely analyze each step of the download procedure and ensure that only the chosen software is downloaded. Furthermore, select the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options - this will reveal any bundled apps listed for installation and allow you to opt-out.
