ShopWithMe Ads

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The ShopWithMe browser add-on is offered to users that like to browse many products from e-retailers to find what they need. The ShopWithMe browser add-on is a shopping helper that you may install with a freeware bundle by using the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. Unfortunately, the ShopWithMe add-on is classified by security analysts as adware that may clutter your desktop with advertisements and allow untrusted advertisers to push marketing content on your screen. Computer users that were infected with the ShopWithMe adware report that it may have downloaded and installed other adware as well. The ShopWithMe adware may connect to its developer's servers and install other adware-powered applications like BoomCheap, My Super Cheap and Takegif. The ShopWithMe adware may slow down your PC and prevent you from loading videos on YouTube without watching a commercial from a sponsor before proceeding to your video. Additionally, the ShopWithMe adware may use ActionScript to inject advertisements on non-affiliated pages and users may notice banners and floating ad-boxes by ShopWithMe appearing on their favorite pages.

Security analysts note that the ShopWithMe adware may read the Meta tags of pages you explore and record your input on posts on social media sites like Facebook to generate targeted advertisements. The ShopWithMe adware may use tracking cookies and your IP address to build a profile about your online routine and send it to marketers for market development purposes. The ShopWithMe adware may use specially crafted CSS-styles to alter the design of online shops like Amazon and eBay to host additional offers and urge users to purchase more items, as well as use audio alerts to notify users of new deals and discounts. The adware may redirect users to harmful domains, and attempt to add items to your product basket to generate revenue for its developers. You should consider installing a reliable anti-malware tool to clean the files of the ShopWithMe adware and associated applications that may slow down your PC and compromise your cyber security.
