The Shoppy browser software may appear as an add-on in Mozilla Firefox, an extension in Google Chrome, or as a Browser Helper Object on Internet Explorer. Shoppy is promoted as a valuable helper to online shoppers that seek special deals and low prices. The Shoppy browser extension is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware functionality because it is used as advertisement platform by vendors to push numerous marketing materials in their web browsers.

The Shoppy extension may use your browsing history to determine your online habits and display targeted content inside pop-ups, coupon windows, and banners.
