About Commercial Extension adware

It’s promoted as useful application that is supposed to help to save both time and money when shopping online by finding and suggesting best possible deals. However, the reality has nothing to do with this promotion. The problem is that all those deals suggested by Commercial Extension usually are fake. They appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon.

Another bad thing – those offers displayed by Commercial Extension are displayed in annoying form of web advertisements. Those ads can be displayed in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement can be opened on your web browser as well.

You should have noticed that advertisements displayed by Commercial Extension always look very appealing and relevant to you – that’s because Commercial Extension collects your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited sites or even your IP and email addresses and adjust those advertisements according to collected data. This way chances that you will click on one of them rise. And that’s the main goal of Commercial Extension because they get paid for every click you make.

Distribution Methods of Commercial Extension

Commercial Extension is traveling the same way as most to other adware of this type – bundled with freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. I.e. when you download and ins all some media player or downloads manager from unreliable website, there is a chance that Commercial Extension will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that.

To avoid this happening, always keep your computer protected by reliable anti-malware application and avoid downloading software from unreliable websites.
