MinimumPrice - How to remove

MinimumPrice

MinimumPrice virus is a questionable reputation browser plugin that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Due to malicious behaviour this program is listed as an adware and a PUP (potentially unwanted program). This adware is willing to display ads on whatever website you are on. MinimumPrice promises users to provide them with the best price offers online and save money that way. However, this is not true and all those offers are fake and come from the third parties sponsors. In fact, if you click on one of them, you are in risk to get infected as it will redirect you to a third parties websites which may be infected.  In addition to that, MinimumPrice also gather your personal info like browsing history, search queries and similar data. This information can be handed to their parties later on. They adjust their ads according to your browsing habits and make them more engaging to you this way. Though this is not officially a virus, a lot of users think that way because program can be installed on computer without user knowledge.

MinimumPrice travels bundled with other free software that can be found on the Internet. If you downloaded and installed something from the Internet for free, there is a great chance that this adware came bundled with it. That being said, you need to be very attentive during the installation of freebies. Always opt out for a custom or advanced mode and make sure you do not skip any steps if you don’t want your computer to be infected with MinimumPrice. If it is too late and you have noticed that your computer is already infected, try to scan it with a trustworthy anti-malware program like Spyhunter or malwarebytes. It will detect and remove threat in no time. In case you want to do it manually, just follow our MinimumPrice removal guide below.
