How to Remove Gamestoday.info

What Is Gamestoday.info?

Gamestoday.info and other unwanted sites might start opening on your browser when you click on regular links. If that happens more than once in a while, you likely have adware installed on your computer that is causing these redirects. Adware can be installed along with free software or pirated programs and games users download from the Internet. After opening, Gamestoday.info prompts users to click or tap Allow button on a “Show notifications” pop-up box. Gamestoday.info claims that clicking Allow is necessary if users want to open a page, watch a video, confirm they are not robots, etc. If a user clicks the Allow button, he or she will start getting Gamestoday.info notifications in the top right or bottom right corner of the screen. Gamestoday.info notifications will advertise shady websites, spam the user with clickbait links or claim that the user needs to download an update for some program.

How to Protect Your PC From Gamestoday.info and Other Adware:

• Get a powerful anti-malware software, capable of detecting and eliminating PUPs. Having several on-demand scanners would be a good idea too.
• Keep Windows firewall enabled or get a third-party one.
• Keep your OS, browsers and security utilities updated. Malware creators find new browser and OS vulnerabilities to exploit all the time. Software writers, in turn, release patches and updates to get rid of the known vulnerabilities and lesser the chance of malware penetration. Antivirus program’s signature databases get updated every day and even more often to include new virus signatures.
• Adjust your browsers’ settings to block pop-ups and to load plug-ins only when clicked.
• Download and use Adguard, uBlock Origin, Adblock or Adblock Plus browser extension/add-on to block third-party advertisements on web-sites.
• Don’t just click on any link you see while browsing the web. That applies particularly to links in comments, on forums, or in instant messengers. Pretty often these are spam links. Sometimes they are used for increasing the traffic to websites, but often enough they will land you on pages that will try to execute a malicious code and infect your computer. Links from your friends are suspect too: the person who shares a cute video might not know that the page contains threatening script.
• Don’t download software from unverified web-sites. You can easily download a trojan (malware that pretends to be a useful application); or some unwanted programs could get installed along with the app.
• When installing freeware or shareware, be sensible and don’t rush through the process. Choose Custom or Advanced installation mode, look for checkboxes that ask for your permission to install third-party apps and uncheck them, read End User License Agreement to make sure nothing else is going to get installed. You can make exceptions for the apps you know and trust, of course. If declining from installing unwanted programs is not possible, we advise you to cancel the installation completely.
