Shop-Wit is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s unreliable, intrusive, deceptive, not to mention, harmful. It’s a hazardous infection, which is not worthy of your trust. Don’t fall victim to the application’s fake claims. They’re utterly bogus and unsubstantiated and are only meant to hoodwink you. Shop-Wit markets itself as useful and credible, but when you disregard the sugary layer of advertisement, what’s left underneath are false promises and deceit. The tool will NOT help you, it will harm you. It’s designed not to assist you in increasing your savings as it states, but to use you in any way possible and make money off of you. It will put your patience to the test by bombarding you with pop-up ads incessantly. It will force you to endure frequent system crashes and will slow down your computer’s performance to a crawl. Not just that, but the program will also place a severe malware threat upon you. And, as if that’s not enough, Shop-Wit jeopardizes your personal and financial information, as well. It spies on you and catalogs every move you make online. Then, when it deems it has gathered enough data from you, it sends it to the unknown third parties that support it.

How did I get infected with?

Shop-Wit is a masterful application, which slithers into your system with great ease. It resorts to trickery and finesse to dupe you into granting it access without you even realizing it. It’s so resourceful in its deception that, not only does it fool you into permitting its install, but keeps you oblivious that you did. So, until Shop-Wit decides otherwise and chooses to reveal itself, you have no clue there’s a hazardous infection lurking on your computer. More often than not, the application sneaks into your system with the help of the old but gold means of infiltration. That includes the use of freeware, spam email attachments, corrupted websites, or links. Also, Shop-Wit can sneak in undetected by pretending to b a fake system or program update. For example, while you may be convinced you’re updating your Adobe Flash Player or Java, in actuality, you’re installing adware. If you wish to prevent from happening, just be more careful. Don’t rush, and remember that a little extra attention goes a long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

There’s a reason behind Shop-Wit’s incessant bombardment of pop-ups. The tool throws so many your way because it’s ad-supported. That means that its entire existence rests on it ability to generate pay-per-click revenue for the third parties that published it. Each ad it fools you into clicking on produces profits for these individuals, and it lives to see another day. But if the adware fails to fulfill its objective, they take it down. To avoid oblivion, the program makes sure the ads it displays appeal to you, and lure you into pressing them. If you’re wondering how it manages to determine which pop-ups to select, it’s quite straightforward. Shop-Wit studies you. It monitors your online activities from the very first second it slithers into your system. By observing your browsing, the tool attempts to understand what you like, what your preferences include. When it learns what your interests include, it picks the most appropriate ads to show you. The ones, which the program feels will spark your interests and result in a click, i.e. profit. Whatever you do, doNOT click on even a single one of the program’s pop-ups! They’re bundled with all kinds of malware, and if you press on an ad, be it by choice or accident, you’ll unlock the malevolent tool that’s hiding behind it. To keep that from happening, ignore the pop-ups as best as you can. Or, better yet, delete the application altogether. That way, you won’t risk your private life falling into the hands of strangers with agendas. Shop-Wit is NOT worth the gamble! Protect yourself and your system, and get rid of it at once. If you hold onto it, you’ll only regret it.
