  • Category Description: Program that delivers advertisements on your PC.

    Note that many websites have their own advertising, unrelated to adware.

    Adware is any software application in which advertising is displayed while the program is running. The authors of these applications include additional code that delivers the ads, which can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on a computer screen and sometimes through text links or in integrated search results. Adware may or may not track personal information. It may also gather information anonymously or in aggregate only. Users should check the EULA and Privacy policy to ensure if the adware on their machines conforms to their standards.
    Official Description: This free game is supported by adware. Though it says this in the EULA it does not go into great detail as to how much or what adware programs are bundled with snackman.exe. Often times, PacerD is installed with this game. In this case, 33 or more separate adware and trojan programs were installed.
    Comment: Snackman.exe leaves a hidden window open that generates numerous pop-ups. So much that it is nearly impossible to play the 'free' game because of pop-up interference.

    Manual removal: If you wish to uninstall, do the following:

    1. START (the button in the bottom left-hand corner of your computer)
    2. Choose SETTINGS
    3. Choose CONTROL PANEL
    4. Choose Add/Remove Programs
    5. Select SnackMan 1.0
    6. Click on Add/Remove
    7. Click OK

    That should remove it entirely from your system.

    If you do not see Snack Man in your add/remove programs list, and you are still seeing advertisements from enBrowser, then you need to make sure to reboot your computer.
