About Shopping Fever adware

Even though it’s described as a powerful tool that will enhance your shopping online and will help you to save both your time and money by providing you with various coupons, deals and commercial offers, this description has nothing to do with reality. It is listed as an adware because all those offers are displayed in an annoying form of web advertisements. They appear completely randomly, so this will definitely disturb your web browsing experience.

We don’t recommend to click on any of those advertisements because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other malware or in case you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

The tool works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer. It can be described as an advertising network designed specifically for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising platforms, they use adware like this to direct some traffic to their websites. That’s why it’s dangerous to keep Shopping Fever installed on your computer – this way cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis.

Shopping Fever also will collect your personal information. Once installed, it will track your browsing history, search queries, top visited sites and even your IP and email addresses. The third parties adjust those advertisements according to your browsing habits and make them even more attractive and relevant to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of those ads rise. And it’s the main goal of Shopping Fever because its creators get paid for every click you make.

Distribution Methods of Shopping Fever adware

Shopping Fever travels bundled with other free software that can be downloaded from the Internet. I.e. when you download and install some freebie from an unreliable source, there is a chance that Shopping Fever will be installed without you even being aware of that. To avoid this happening, don’t download software from suspicious looking websites. However, if you have no other option, pay attention to the installation process of freebies. Don’t skip any steps and always opt out for a custom or advance install mode if possible. This will allow you to see all available options and make changes. Don’t rush, because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside – do not allow this to happen because it can be Shopping Fever or any other malware.
