BrowserAShop

The BrowserAShop browser extension may be promoted as a tool that can turn your web browser into a shop with low prices, but you may wish to know that it is adware. Security researchers warn users that the BrowserAShop adware is specialized in displaying pop-up windows loaded with promotional materials. Also, users may notice banners by BrowserAShop at the top and bottom sections of web pages they visit. The BrowserAShop adware can be found in freeware bundles that most users install with the 'Express' or 'Typical' option and allow third-party software to arrive on their PC. Needless to say, the quick installation of freeware often results in security issues related to browser hijackers like Qvo6 and Infoaxe and adware like PsdRunner and QuickCoup. An adware like BrowserAShop could employ tracking cookies and DOM storage data to record your typed URLs and to determine what type of ads are best suited to you. The BrowserAShop adware may add a registry key in Windows to launch with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer, and ensure its operations every time you start an online session. Moreover, the BrowserAShop adware may redirect users to potentially harmful domains, and users should remove the BrowserAShop binary with the services of a reliable anti-malware tool.
