What is Shopping Assistant?
Shopping Assistant is an adware which claims that you can benefit a lot from it. It aims to generate revenue by displaying numerous ads when you are online, especially when you are doing online shopping. Take everything that caused by Shopping Assistant into consideration, I highly recommend you to remove it out of your computer as soon as possible.
The common symptoms when affected by Shopping Assistant are listed below:
1. Shopping Assistant displays you a great deal of ads every time you turn on your computer and surf the internet. Among the ads are many promotional pop-ups, marketing messages, advertising discounts and deals. They are presented to you frequently and they look tempting and available. In fact, it can provide you no substantial value. What’s worse, sometimes the ads won’t let you close it.
2. Shopping Assistant is capable to add links to the text that you are reading secretly. If you are not cautious enough, you’ll be redirected to some certain web. Because Shopping Assistant not only generates revenue by a high click rate, it also promotes certain webs for unknown merchant to get agency fee.
3. If Shopping Assistant stays in your computer for a long time, it will develop into a disaster to your computer or even to your personal properties. Besides the slow PC running speed and poor PC performance, it can steal the important data or collect your sensitive information and then send back to the programmer silently. It’s a potential security threat.
If you want to prevent Shopping Assistant from affecting your computer, you should be careful when you download programs from the Internet, especially when you are installing software. On the other side, if your computer was attacked by Shopping Assistant, you can read this post and get some useful help.
