Web surfers may see slogans like 'Fun & Easy to Use', 'Find the top Deals' and 'Save Money' on the official website of the Awesome Shoppers browser plug-in. However, you should not be fooled because the Awesome Shoppers plug-in is adware. It is distributed with free software packages that most users install with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. The Awesome Shoppers adware is offered as a tool to help online shoppers compare prices and use coupons, but its main objective is to earn affiliate revenue for its creators. The Awesome Shoppers adware will push many marketing materials on your screen and obstruct your Internet activities. Moreover, the Awesome Shoppers adware is built on the Crossrider platform and will invade Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox. The Awesome Shoppers adware will use web beacons, DOM storage data, ActionScript3 and read your browsing history to determine what advertisements are suited to your Internet habits. Security experts reveal that the Awesome Shoppers adware may place its files in the hidden ProgramData and ApplicationData folders to evade security scans and link an adware-powered DLL executable to your Internet client. The Awesome Shoppers adware may write a registry entry in Windows to launch on boot-up as a background process. The Awesome Shoppers adware may show pop-ups, banners, inline ads and load video ads in order to generate pay-per-click revenue. Users may need to close floating ad-boxes to read text and preview images on the Web. You should take into consideration that the ads by adware such as Awesome Shoppers, SpikeDeals and Suggested Deals are not safe, and you could be redirected to harmful domains and untrusted online stores. Therefore, you might want to install a trusted anti-malware suite that can purge the Awesome Shoppers adware from your machine.
