About Price Expert adware
It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera and even Safari. This means Apple users can get infected as well.
Price Expert pretends to be useful and free application that is supposed to save your time and money when shopping online. It will display various offers to you right on your web browser. However, the problem is that all those offers come in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual ads. They appear completely randomly, therefore it’s really annoying.
Ads displayed by Price Expert are not only annoying, but malicious as well. If you click on one of them, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected or in case you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money. That’s why you should not keep this application installed even if it isn’t bothering you.
Another unwanted attribute of Price Expert is data collection. Once installed it will collect various information about your browsing habits, such as your browsing history, search queries, most visited sites or even your IP and email addresses. They adjust those advertisements according to collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to your browsing habits this way, so chances that you will click on one of those ads rise. And that’s the main goal of Price Expert because they get paid for every click you make.
Distribution Methods of Price Expert
Price Expert is travelling bundled with various freebies that can be downloaded from the Internet. So if you download some small application from the website that is not reliable, there is a chance that Price Expert will be installed alongside without even warning you about that. In order to avoid this, you should be extremely careful during the install of freeware.
Never skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This way you will be able to see all available options and make changes. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. In case it’s already too late and your computer is infected with Price Expert, wait no more and take needed actions to eliminate it.
