PriceGong - How to remove

PriceGong is a browser plug-in that was programmed to automatically recognize which item you are looking for and show coupons having it. It can be installed to Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The official purpose of this toolbar is to save up your money. As it is a free tool, its developers earn income from advertisements that are being displayed to an affected computer’s user. Moreover, your Internet browsing habits are monitored with a help of cookies that were installed together with a browser plug-in:

The information sent to our servers < … > may include the IP address, the URL of the web site you are visiting, a general information about your browser and operating system, a product information as taken from the product HTML page and unique identifier of your PriceGong add-on.

People having PriceGong installed without their clear consent complain about advertisements that not only interrupt their daily work with computer but even block a PC screen making it impossible to see everything on display. Note that this browser extension is not related to malware or viruses but if you did not choose to have it intentionally, it is recommended to remove it.

Usually PriceGong comes bundled with other software such as Freecorder or “Free music” download from utorrent. It is a legal but unfair way of distributing adware like this one. A checkbox for installing additional applications is marked by default and many computer users do not take it off when performing an automatic installation. This way they end up with unwanted programs that irritate them afterwards and are difficult to remove.

If you installed PriceGong yourself from a company’s official webpage pricegong.com you should be able to remove it from Control Panel Add and Remove Programs list. There is also a PriceGong uninstaller available for an official version of a browser extension. Yet many people complain that uninstaller does not work or even call this removal tool to be a bogus itself.

If you do not know how PriceGong got into your computer and cannot locate its files, it is recommended to use an automatic removal option. spyhunter and Hitman Pro are capable of detecting and uninstalling any adware including PriceGong. Even if you chose to remove the toolbar manually, we strongly advice to perform a full system scan afterwards to make sure no infections are left. Please note that not all of antivirus tools can detect adware therefore if you use anything else than those recommended above, check beforehand if the software is capable of detecting this type of thread.
