The Pro Flip browser extension is promoted at pro-flip.webstore-advisor.net/en/install as the best online shopping widget that helps you save money smarter and faster. PC users can install the Pro Flip extension to Google Chrome and benefit from suggestions by Pro Flip on the items they are interested in. The site pro-flip.webstore-advisor.net/en/install says that Pro Flip is designed to scan pages you visit on the Internet and provide the user with options on where to purchase a certain item cheaper.

However, you may want to know that Pro Flip is adware, which is a re-branded version of Enhance Pro and Price Turtle. The Pro Flip adware pretends to be a legitimate extension but it does not offer information on its developer, company and there are no contact details listed on pro-flip.webstore-advisor.net/en/install. The Pro Flip adware is linked to Shopmania.ro, which is a redirect-gateway to marketing materials. The site is associated with several other adware representatives and may include links to corrupted advertisements. Web surfers are advised against installing the Pro Flip adware-powered extension because it may scan all pages you visit, gather data like your Internet history and downloads log to help affiliate ad networks show targeted promotional offers on pages you load. The Pro Flip adware claims to add a panel in the top right corner of the browser where users should find interesting deals, coupons, and discounts on products at Amazon, eBay and WallMart.

However, the Pro Flip adware does not behave as you may be lead to believe and its activity takes place behind the curtains. The Pro Flip adware is programmed to run in the background and alter the way your browser connects to remote servers that offer advertisements. The Pro Flip adware may redirect your browser to download marketing materials from unreliable portals and display misleading images, load videos, and audio commercials from untrusted networks. It is best to remove the Pro Flip adware with the help of a reliable anti-malware scanner that can uninstall unwanted software and erase the tracking cookies downloaded by Pro Flip.
