How do I get rid of Arcade Safari from my computers. It appeared uninvited on my older HP Tower about two months back. Just bought a new HP Tower and its still there. I only loaded business info on the new computer.

Jim, I am assuming your problem happens with your browser. Arcade Safari is a browser add-on that will appear in either Internet Explorer, Firefox or Chrome. You usually get this unwanted add-on as a result of downloading "free premium games" from arcadesafari.com. Otherwise, it came as part of an install package from another freeware program and during the install process, the option to have this add-on was not unchecked. In any event, there are detailed instructions on how to remove this unwanted add-on at this site: http://www.pcrisk.com/removal-guides/7160-remove-arcade-safari-adware

Forgot to mention that WOT (https://www.mywot.com/) has a caution warning on the arcadesafari.com website to let you know that you should be wary of this site.

Arcade Safari is a ‘PUP’ – a potentially unwanted program. Removal isn’t hard (it’s not a virus.) First try this, http://www.pcrisk.com/removal-guides/7160-remove-arcade-safari-adware which shows how to uninstall it. Instructions to remove most PUPs can be found by a simple Google search, for example: https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=remove+arcade+safari
