The HappySales browser extension is deemed by security analysts as adware because it functions as an advertisement platform to vendors. The HappySales extension can be seen accompanying freeware installers as an additional tool that can help you shop faster and more efficiently. However, the HappySales may detect your geographical location, IP address and use tracking cookies to display tailor-suited ads. The adware developers behind HappySales programmed it to display pop-ups, banners, in-text hyperlinks to sponsors and ad panels. You may want to keep in mind that the HappySales adware may feature links to unsafe Internet locations and offer you to install riskware. Security analysts note that the ads by adware such as the HappySales browser extension are not considered safe. Additionally, the HappySales adware may add a key in your Windows registry to start at system boot-up and delay the start of other applications. The HappySales adware may appear on the 'Programs and Features' list, but it may have a dysfunctional uninstaller to prevent users from removing HappySales manually. Therefore, you may wish to consider using a credible anti-spyware utility to purge the HappySales adware.
