Web surfers that find their way into Amazon and eBay may be surprised by the abundance of ads by Findizer. The ads by Findizer may start pouring in after you install the Findizer browser add-on that is promoted at Findizer.fr. The Findizer.fr page is suited to French-speaking users and invites users to install a browser add-on that can help them purchase goods from local stores, donate to charities and save money at the same time. The Findizer add-on works similarly to iRobinHood and Donation Reminder that we have covered in the past. The Findizer add-on can be installed for free and may is spread among users with the help of freeware bundles that may include third-party apps like Lights Cinema and LiveiStream. Users that prefer to shop only and would like to help a local charity may be interested in installing the Findizer software. However, the Findizer software is classified as an adware that is not likely to help you donate money and might reroute your financial to the pockets of marketers.

The Findizer adware may computerize browsers like Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and Mozilla Firefox. Security investigators note that the Findizer adware may disable built-in defense mechanisms to enable its operations and may redirect users to domains like La.vuwl.com that are blacklisted and blocked by most Web filters and AV vendors. The developers of the Findizer adware may claim to work with reputable brands like MNocibe, Yves Rocher, and Asos but you should not trust them. The Findizer adware is an unreliable program that may show coupons and discount on your screen via pop-up windows and banners. Computer users are strongly advised against entering their credit card details on fields provided by the Findizer adware to avoid becoming a financial fraud victim. Computer users should take advantage of the services of a renowned anti-malware suite to clean their machine and eradicate the Findizer adware effortlessly.
