The SuperPricer browser add-on is developed by Super Pricer Ltd. and may travel with free software bundles that you may download to improve your online shopping experience. Unfortunately, the SuperPricer browser add-on is an adware and might bombard your desktop with promotional materials from less-reputable ad networks. The SuperPricer adware may present users with fake buyer reviews and misleading information to encourage them to purchase the items being promoted. Security experts note that the SuperPricer adware is created on the Crossrider development platform and is cross compatible. The SuperPricer adware may alter the modus operandi of browsers like Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. The ads by SuperPricer may be loaded on a scrollable banner that appears on the right side of products you browse on e-commerce sites like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.

The SuperPricer adware may display comparative ad-boxes on eBay to 'help' buyers choose the products of partners. Additionally, the SuperPricer adware may load video commercials on your new tab page and use pop-up windows to recommend users to install riskware like VPNPrivat and Record Checker. That way, the developers of the SuperPricer adware might claim pay-per-install revenue and earn more profit at the cost of your PC 's performance. Security experts reveal that there may be versions of the SuperPricer adware that require users to provide their mobile phone number to receive special coupons and discounts. Needless to say, proving your phone number may subscribe you to premium services that may cost you up to $100 a week. The SuperPricer adware may use tracking cookies and detect your approximate geographical location based on your IP address to generate personalized ads that some users may be interested in. However, the SuperPricer adware is a security risk and should be deleted by using a credible anti-spyware tool.
