JogoTempo is a website offering all sorts of Flash games. We can confidently say this is a malicious website due to three main reasons: first of all its installation is never done in a clear enough way so the user actually realizes what’s going on, plus it shows huge amounts of ads from the very first moment, and finally, it spies on everything you do online.
JogoTempo is usually distributed through free software whose install program has been modified. Most users that are being disturbed by adware install it themselves without noticing it. We usually go clicking mindless when installing something, thus almost no one takes the time to read what the install program might warn about. Adware developers know this, and they take advantage of it by hiding their programs in the “advanced” options of freeware install processes. This is how many users end up with potentially unwanted programs (PUP) installed on their computers.
JogoTempo is not a dangerous virus, and it’s far from being one, however it is an annoying and hard to uninstall program. By browsing the web you could find many (maybe too many) websites offering removal solutions. Now, be careful because on 99.99% of the cases it’s just attempts at taking your money… they will try to convince you that you need to buy some removal tool whose efficiency won’t be assured.
