About Swytshop adware
Even though it is described as useful application that will help 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. The problem is that all those coupons and deals come in annoying form of web advertisements.
Usually ads displayed by Swytshop 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 times those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those ads this way. And we don’t recommend to do that.
