Adware programs are there to promote some kind of product. They are often just mediums in a bigger marketing network, and all by themselves they cannot cause too much harm.

Rather than a malware threat, BlastGamesNetwork Ads might be more of a threat to your personal data security. After all, this adware program collects information on your web browsing habits to generate custom commercial ads.

Technically, there is nothing wrong with it, but such behavior can easily be obnoxious and intrusive, and it would be for the best to get rid of such programs.
