ArcadeRoyal Removal Guide

Do you know what ArcadeRoyal is?

The slogan of ArcadeRoyal – which you are introduced to if you install it on Firefox – is “Get privileges to play royal games!” Needless to say, this program is supposed to provide you access to arcaderoyal.com games that you would not normally access without it. Well, if you install this browser extension, you will not only gain access to more games, but advertisements will appear as well. Due to this, we classify this extension as an advertising-supported program. In fact, we have seen quite a few different game managers that provide free games by flooding their users with online ads. FantastiGames, GamerHippo, and TerasGames are few of the many suspicious programs of this kind. Although these programs are not classified as the most dangerous, critical threats, eliminating them is important. If you want to learn why you should remove ArcadeRoyal, please continue reading.

As stated in the Privacy Policy, the ad-supported program can “display third party applications” along with text links, pop-ups, banners, and transitional ads. Although it is not surprising that this program can display all kinds of advertisements, it is strange that it also “displays” applications. This means that third-party software could be promoted by this adware, and that could be a backdoor for unreliable software. Although it is possible that reliable, harmless advertisers are using the services of this strange program, it is just as likely that unreliable advertisers are involved as well. Well, what if these advertisers use ArcadeRoyal to promote malicious installers? What if the advertisements promoting fun, attractive services are camouflaging links to malicious sites? Unfortunately, it is possible that you will encounter misleading content. Sure, the creators of this adware might not be directly linked to schemers; however, that does not mean that they will not exploit it.ArcadeRoyal Removal GuideArcadeRoyal screenshot

Our research team has found that ArcadeRoyal works with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers; however, Chrome users might encounter this program as well. You will be required to install this extension when trying to play the so-called “Premium” games. It was found that this extension could also be downloaded via third-party installers. If you have installed this tool packaged with other programs, you need to scan your operating system immediately because you might have let in other suspicious programs as well. Note that malicious installers often use attractive programs to camouflage more dangerous, malicious infections. Hopefully, that is not the case, and you do not need to worry about the removal of additional infections or unreliable programs. If you find additional malware, do not panic, figure out which threats are the worst, and eliminate them first. If Trojans, rogues, keyloggers, or other malicious programs exist, the removal of ArcadeRoyal can wait.

It is very important to choose the removal method that, ultimately, will guarantee success. If you choose to eliminate malicious programs manually without the right skills and knowledge, it is unlikely that you will succeed. Although we are sure that even inexperienced users can delete ArcadeRoyal manually, we are more worried about the third-party software that could be active on your PC. Depending on the malware that has entered your operating system, you might have to eliminate registry keys and multiple files. If you are not up for the challenge, employ automated malware detection and removal software. We suggest using this software even if you decide to use the instructions below.
