Are you stuck with the Gamereleasedate.info pop-ups? If yes, we are sorry to inform you that you have an adware injection on board. Don’t panic, though. The truth is that you are infected with one of the least dangerous and easiest to remove pests. But this definitely doesn’t mean that you are safe. You aren’t. No virus should be underestimated as each one eventually goes out of hand. In fact, the more this adware stays on board, the more time it has to cause you damage.

Once the pesky adware lands on board, it immediately modifies all of your browsers, causing them to generate tons of ads on daily basis. For the purpose, the infection appends to them a brand new malicious plugin without any kind of permission of yours. Moreover, the pest doesn’t need permission for anything it does. It is able to act as it sees fit. That’s why you are buried in an avalanche of commercials daily. Each page you visit is heavy on banners, coupons, deals, offers, in texts, etc. and etc. Even the sites which used to be ad-free are now completely covered with pop-ups. And don’t think even for a second that these adverts are helpful. On the contrary. Crooks use them to make money via the pay-per-click mechanism which only means that they don’t care if the ads are reliable or not. And most of them certainly aren’t.
A single click on the wrong ad is all it takes for you to compromise your machine even more by downloading more malware. Yes, the ads lead to dangerous pages or conceal infections themselves. Either way, you are always one click away from cyber parasites. Are you actively trying to infect your computer with more malware? Don’t you think that this adware you now have is more than enough? It ruined your online activities. You avoid your own PC because using it is just too irritating and nerve wracking. And that’s not surprising. Adware pieces are actually considered among the most annoying pests. Are you enjoying having this infection demolish your browsing experience and exposing you to malware? Of course, not. So, delete it. Use our removal guide at the end of this article and clean your PC from this plague.
How did the adware enter? In order to prevent future infections, you should know how adware pieces and other types of parasites travel the Web. Well, unsurprisingly, they turn to the old but gold means of infiltration. We are talking corrupted sites or links, fake updates, spam emails, freeware/shareware bundles, malicious third-party ads, unverified download sources, social media messages, etc.
The methods are many but none of them would work without your inactive cooperation, aka your carelessness. Be more careful what you click on and what you give permission to. Don’t open emails from people you don’t know and don’t follow strange links send to you on social media. Also, when installing programs be sure to read the Terms and Conditions/EULA before you click the “I accept” button. Don’t give into haste and don’t rely on luck. It leads to infections. What doesn’t lead to infections is vigilance. Be cautious and keep your machine virus-free.
