In fact, it’s so masterful in the arts of deceit that, it not only dupes you into approving its installation, but also keeps you oblivious that you did. More often than not, the application sneaks in undetected by hitching a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because users don’t pay nearly as enough attention as they should during its install. They rush the process and don’t even read the terms and conditions. Instead, they agree to everything and hope for the best. Well, that’s a poor decision if ever there was one, and it leads to horrendous consequences.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Shopsafer’s selling point is that it’s a helpful tool that assists you in saving money. Suppsosedly, it provides you with coupons for online sales and shows you all the best deals and bargains. That sound amazing, right? Well, too bad it’s not true. In reality, the situation is quite different. Shopsafer’s claims are nothing more than a marketing ploy. This is an ad-supported application. In order to survive, it’s required to fool you into clicking on as many of its ads as possible. That’s why it floods you with so many. Its entire existence relies on its ability to generate web traffic and pay-per-click revenue for the unknown third parties that support it. That’s why the program leaves nothing to chance! It studies you. Shopsafer observes your browsing habits until it’s able to determine what you like and dislike. Then it picks the “appropriate” ads to throw your way. It only shows you ads, which it feels will have the best shot at sparking your interest and result in a click, i.e. cash. Whatever you do, do NOT click on these ads no matter how enticing they seem! If you do, you’ll unwillingly agree to install more malevolent tools on your computer. Unfortunately, even this severe malware threat will seem like a non-issue compared to the fact that Shopsafer jeopardizes your personal and financial details. The application doesn’t merely monitor your online activities. It keeps a thorough record of every move you make, and then sends the collected information to the unknown individuals behind it. Are you willing to hand your private life to strangers with agendas? Don’t take such a colossal gamble! Protect yourself and your computer, and delete Shopsafer at once! You won’t regret it.
