The PriceLocal browser add-on is offered to users that are interested in finding better deals for products and services from stores in their vicinity. The PriceLocal add-on functions as a price comparison tool and recommendation service that some users may like. The official Web page of PriceLocal is located on GetPriceLocal.com and users may find the add-on incorporated with free software packages on the Internet. However, PriceLocal is adware and security researchers advise against using it for finding local deals. The PriceLocal adware may require access to your account at Amazon.com, your browsing history and might want to detect your exact geographical location to provide tailor-suited ads. The PriceLocal adware may cover your browser surface with recommended offers, coupons and vouchers for products on suspicious shops. Moreover, the PriceLocal adware may use your IP address to detect your location and display numerous pop-up windows with surveys that cannot be closed unless you answer a minimum of ten questions.
Security researchers note that the PriceLocal adware may invite users to install badware like YellowSend and ZoomIt to earn pay-per-install revenue for its developers, and you may experience slower computer performance. The company that is behind this adware—PriceLocal, LLC is not registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and may not be a legitimate provider of services. You should not provide information like your credit card data, Amazon profile, physical and email address to the operators of the PriceLocal adware to avoid financial hoaxes. Online buyers are not advised to use coupons and vouchers from PriceLocal because they may be charged with additional fees and they may lose money. The PriceLocal adware can be addressed with a reputable anti-malware utility that can clean your computer and secure your online shopping.
