Teras Games Adware

What is Teras Games?

Developed by Today Solutions, Teras Games is a dubious application claiming to provide a variety of free online arcade games.

On initial inspection, these claims may seem legitimate, however, Teras Games app is classed as adware. The main reason for this association is the rogue behavior exhibited by Teras Games, which includes stealth installation, display of intrusive online ads, and tracking of Internet browsing activity.

This application displays advertisements including pop-up, banner, coupon, and in-text ads. While most redirect to various e-commerce websites such as online stores, some redirect to rogue websites containing infectious content. There is a high probability that clicking these ads (which may seem harmless) will cause further computer infections.

Furthermore, these advertisements are displayed using a virtual layer, which overlays the visited website content and diminishing the Internet browsing experience.

Teras Games continually collects information relating to users' Internet browsing habits including IP addresses, operating system, browser type and data (websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, cookies, etc.), and other similar details. Some of this collected data can be personally identifiable, and is shared by Today Solutions with third parties.

Therefore, having Teras Games installed on your system might lead to various privacy issues. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to uninstall Teras Games from your system immediately.

There are hundreds of bogus applications that are virtually identical to Teras Games including Jewel Quest, Epic War 2, OkayFreedom, and Plants Vs Zombies. These are just some examples from a long list. Although these applications claim to enable useful features, in fact, they provide no real value for the user.

Adware-type applications such as Teras Games aim to generate revenue by displaying advertisements and collecting personal data
