PUPs may be designed to bring about revenue at the expense of PC users without providing any kind of useful or interesting service. Their developers also make it as hard as possible to remove these types of browser add-ons to discourage PC users from removing them.

RocketSaler is advertised as a browser extension that allows PC users to improve their online shopping experience. RocketSaler claims that it helps find special prices, online deals and coupons. However, RocketSaler may fill your browser with advertisements; RocketSaler may insert banner and in-text advertisements on Web pages viewed on the affected browser, cause the affected browser to display pop-up windows or new tabs containing content linked to RocketSaler and redirect your browser to Web pages linked to RocketSaler. RocketSaler will try to convince you that RocketSaler has access to a better price or deal when you're shopping online despite this not being true in most cases.
