Once inside, it will flood all your web browsers with various advertisements that are not only disturbing, but malicious as well. This application is closely affiliated to various cyber criminals so by keeping it installed you allow them to reach your information. Due to the fact that this infection is travelling bundled with other freeware, you can only notice it when it’s already inside of your computer.  However, that’s not a difficult thing to do because usually those advertisements displayed by Price Fab are labeled with  slogan “Ads by Price Fab” or “Brought to you by Price Fab”.

About Price Fab adware

It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or even Safari. This means Apple users can get infected as well. Once inside it will display various advertisements on all of your web browsers in various forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window can be opened on your web browser as well.

Those advertisements displayed by Price Fab usually appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon and offers you to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. However, don’t fall for that – most of the time those offers are fake, it’s just a wise trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. And we don’t recommend to do that.

If you click on one of those ads displayed by Price Fab, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Price Fab can be described as advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to promote their websites and direct some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep Price Fab installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser and that’s very dangerous.

Distribution methods of Price Fab adware

This adware travels in a malicious way called bundling. Usually it is bundled with other free applications that can be downloaded from the Internet. I.e. when you download and install some freeware, there is a chance that Price Fab will be installed alongside without you even being warned about that. So if you want to avoid this happening, pay close attention to the installation process of freeware.

Never skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. Look for various checkboxes that can be checked for you. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside, don’t allow this installation to be completed because it can possibly be Price Fab or any other malware.
