Do you know what GamesFlight is?
GamesFlight is a potentially unwanted program. This means that the application is not a dangerous computer infection, but it may exhibit particular behavioral patterns that you could consider undesirable. Also, this means that the application could be rather vulnerable to third-party exploitation, and it could be used by third parties for their own malevolent plans. It is your duty to avoid that, and you need to remove GamesFlight from your system to ensure that the program does not get exploited. For more detailed instructions, please be sure to check the instructions below this article.
So why would users download such program? Probably because they are into online arcade games. If we check the official website for this application, we can see that the array of games you can choose is pretty big, so it can surely offer you quite a few ways to kill time. However, when we open gamesflight.com, we can see only the games and a few categories there, but there is no download button available. Also, when you try to play those games, you need to wait until an advertisement is done playing. This shows that the website and, consequently, GamesFlight support third-party advertising, and that is probably their main method of sustaining themselves.
However, if there is no download button on the main sight, how users manage to download this application? To be perfectly honest, potentially unwanted applications and adware do not rely on their official websites much to spread around. In fact, it is far more common to find these applications in freeware bundles that are distributed via file-sharing websites. Thus, you might have installed GamesFlight accidentally when you downloaded some codec or a file converter. According to our researchers, this application is often found bundled in third-party software installers, so that might be the most plausible distribution vector.

These advertisements can significantly impede your system performance, and such programs sometimes could easily be exploited by cyber criminals. For example, they may embed a corrupted outgoing link into one of the GamesFlight’s ads, and if you happen to click that, you could find yourselfon a website that distributes malware. Then, you would get infected with Trojans, ransomware, worms, and other malicious software. It is better to not reach this point because it might be hard to terminate specific infections and deal with their consequences.
