The security experts classify Shopping Blast as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with an adware functionality. The application claims to enhance the on-line shopping experience of the user by providing him with the best deals and coupons out there. It is doubtful that people will indeed save money due to this program, but the presence of many ads is guaranteed. They can be seen as pop-ups, banners or hyperlinked words. Shopping Blast may replace your default homepage and may also manipulate the search results. These techniques try to promote partner sites and attempt to make you a client of various trading platforms. Their legitimacy cannot be verified, and you should abstain from buying anything even if the product seems to be a good bargain. You may notice that the ads become more and more accurate as the time passes, and this is not a coincidence ‒ the adware carefully monitors your browsing history and reacts accordingly. The constantly popping up ads may be very irritating, but are harmless by themselves. If you click on them, however, this may change as they may lead to corrupt sites. You should consider deleting Shopping Blast as it cannot help you in any way.
