About Shoppeez adware
Even though it’s described as useful application that will allow you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, deals and commercial offers, this is not true. It is officially listed as an adware, so all those offers and coupons will come in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser as well.
Usually ads displayed by Shoppeez appear on e-commerce websites such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Don’t fall for that trick – 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 ads. We do not recommend to click on any of those advertisements because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can be infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.
Shoppeez is like advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks they use adware like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep Shoppeez installed on your computer various cyber criminals will be able to reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis. And that’s very dangerous.
It works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explore or even Safari. This means that Apple users can get infected as well.
