ShopDrop falls in the category of adware, which means that it is associated with third-party advertisers.

How did I get infected with?
ShopDrop is known to have had an official representative web page which seems to be inactive at the moment. Hence, an official download option is out of the question. Since ShopDrop cannot be downloaded, it can only arrive on your system bundled with other software. This software is usually free applications promoted at third-party websites. During the setup process of these applications additional programs such as ShopDrop also get installed. If you remember to select Advanced/Custom setup option and go carefully through all installation steps, you will be informed about all the additional programs and will be given the chance to disable their setup.
Why are these ads dangerous?
Once ShopDrop gets installed on your PC, it will start tracking your every move on the web. Also, information will be collected about the websites you visit, the ads you click, the search queries you place, and so on. This data is essential to making the displayed ads more relevant to your interests. With more tempting ads on your screen the chance of clicking them increases a lot. The developers of ShopDrop earn money for every clicked ad, so this is why the ads are displayed so persistently. Unfortunately, if you let yourself be lured by some exclusive discount offer, you might end up on a malicious web page spreading infections because ads by ShopDrop contain links to such websites. To prevent that from happening, you should cease the display of the annoying ads by deleting the application responsible for that.
