PriceHorse is a browser add-on that may attack the main browsers such as Internet Explorer, Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. PriceHorse displays what it promises: price comparisons, deals, coupons and more. But, these deals are not related to your Web searches, and instead of helping you save time and money, may make difficult your online browsing. This adware or Possibly Unwanted Program may track your online actions and transfer the data to third parties, and may redirect you to websites that have unsafe content. To stop the unwanted advertisements and redirections made by PriceHorse, you should use an anti-malware scanner to delete all the components installed by it and get rid of PriceHorse for good.
