The Shopping Optimizer browser add-on by Shopping Optimization Solutions LTD is a modified version of the iDeals (a.k.a. iDeals Shopping Optimizer) adware that may find its way into your system with a freeware installer. The Shopping Optimizer adware may be offered to you as a helpful tool that can help you save more money as you shop more on affiliate online stores. However, the primary objective of the Shopping Optimizer adware is to earn pay-per-click revenue for its creators and might drive a torrent of advertising content in your browser to achieve its goal. The advertising content that the Shopping Optimizer adware may display on your screen may be corrupted, and you risk visiting untrusted domains. The Shopping Optimizer adware may edit your security policies in the Windows Registry, and you may be exposed to advanced cyber threats like Proslikefan and Tracur. The ads by Shopping Optimizer may be presented to you via banners, pop-up, and pop-under windows. Also, the Shopping Optimizer adware may use ActionScript3 to place a sliding banner on your right side of your browser screen to host coupons, discounts, and vouchers. Security analysts note that the Shopping Optimizer adware functions similarly to BetterSurf and may invite users to install badware like Email Fanatic and GasGlance. Moreover, the Shopping Optimizer adware may link several runtime DLLs to your Internet client to alter its behavior and record data like your recently visited websites, entered search keywords on Google and bookmarks collection. Advertisers that support the development of Shopping Optimizer to generate tailor-suited ads might use that information.
