Problems with Cheapypeasy.xyz

Adware

Cheapypeasy.xyz is a browser hijacker and adware. Here’s what it does:

• Redirect your searches to Bing.com. When you search the internet from the address bar, Bing.com unexpectedly returns the results.
• Inject ads into your search results. It only does this for some queries.

While Cheapypeasy.xyz is not dangerous, it is bad for user experience. It takes up precious screen space with ads on top of those that your search results already show. Cheapypeasy.xyz requires time to download and display these ads, making search results take a little longer to appear.

Cheapypeasy.xyz’s description is not accurate to how it really works. According to its description, it changes your default search engine to Bing.com. But it doesn’t. Instead, it randomly takes your search query, opens a new tab with Bing.com results, and closes your current tab. It’s unnerving in its unpredictability when you don’t know what’s causing these redirects.

As for the ads, Cheapypeasy.xyz injects advertisements into Google.com, Bing.com, and Yahoo.com search results. Even when it doesn’t inject an ad, it still includes an invisible iframe element, which is basically a webpage within a webpage. If you use the Inspect function in your browser to check your search results, you can find this element by searching for “Cheapypeasy.xyz”.

Cheapypeasy.xyz is related to Toptabengine.xyz, Hyper-app.xyz, Shopping-friend.xyz, Coupon-app.xyz, and other adware hijackers.

Spyware

Cheapypeasy.xyz is there in your browser when you use it. It collects a lot of user data:

• It can read your browsing history – the websites that you visit.
• It can read your Google.com, Bing.com, and Yahoo.com pages. It sends your search query to a Cheapypeasy.xyz page to see if it has any ads to show.
• It can see your IP, location, your operating system, and other technical details.

Bizarrely, Cheapypeasy.xyz uses its privacy policy to brag that it does not collect as much information as other sites do. And yet, its privacy policy is very permissive. Cheapypeasy.xyz wouldn’t even work if it couldn’t read your browsing history and search terms.

Cheapypeasy.xyz insists that it does not collect personally identifiable information or use it to advertise to you. However, data like your search history and browsing history are revealing enough. And plenty of browser extensions make money by selling it.

How hijackers spread

Cheapypeasy.xyz is hard to notice. Once it’s installed, it doesn’t even announce itself, but closes its own tab. It’s very easy to miss.

Also, Cheapypeasy.xyz tricks people into installing it. You might find it in your browser and wonder where it came from.

It spreads on torrenting sites, free streaming sites, file download sites. Its ads are made to look like download sites and download buttons. They mean to confuse people and to get them to mistakenly install Cheapypeasy.xyz.

Another way that Cheapypeasy.xyz may get installed is by being included in the installer of another program. It could be offered as a way to “enhance” your browser.

How to remove Cheapypeasy.xyz

Go into your browser settings, Extensions, and remove or disable all suspicious extensions, including Cheapy Peasy. You can also remove extensions from the area in the upper right corner of the browser.

It might be valuable to scan your device with an antivirus tool, too. A program like Combo Cleaner for macOS, Spyhunter for Windows, or another program that you trust. Then, if any malware is detected by the scan, remove it.

Additionally, look into solutions to block aggressive ads. Even if you don’t want to use an ad blocker, there are pop-up blockers, as well as blocklists that include many spam domains. They can help you avoid some of the more deceptive and harmful ads.
