What is StormFall?

StormFall (Age of War) is the title of an online streaming strategy computer game and program that many users have found installed on their computer without consent. StormFall is not technically a computer virus or malware, and the StormFall game itself is not malicious: However, the computer game utilizes very aggressive and questionable marketing practices, is an advertisement supported program that displays pop-up advertisements on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Internet Explorer, and generally bundles alongside third-party malware, trojan horses, and potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).

StormFall and associated programs have permission to access and collect user information, as well as change browser and system settings without direct user knowledge. In turn, this program and associated items are used to generate pop-up advertisements, as well as cause unwanted browser redirects and start-ups. Information collected may also be submitted to third-party mailing and marketing lists.
