Distribution Methods of Price Turtle

If you installed Price Turtle by your own, it’s probably ok (if you find this application useful, just continue using it). However, it’s usually not the case. Most of the time Price Turtle gets installed on users computers without them even being aware of that and performs unwanted actions. So if you can’t recall installing it on your computer, remove Price Turtle as soon as possible.

Once inside it will display various advertisements on all of your web browsers, 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. Usually they 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 be too excited about that, because usually those offers are fake, it’s just a wise trick to win your attention and make you click on them. And we don’t recommend to do that.

If it happens so that you click on one of those advertisements displayed by Price Turtle, 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 or you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money. That’s because Price Turtle works as middleman between internet users and unreliable websites. Usually they are banned from search engines and advertising networks, so they use adware like this to promote their pages and products. This being said, if you keep Price Turtle installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s really dangerous.

It’s compatible with all most popular web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari.

Distribution Methods of Price Turtle

You can get infected with this malware simply by downloading and installing freeware from unreliable websites. It’s because Price Turtle travels bundled with various free and insignificant applications and gets installed alongside with them, without even warning users about that.

Never skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. Don’t rush, because some really important facts can be displayed in an extremely tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that.
