Can’t Remove Shopping Assistant ads? This page includes detailed ads by Shopping Assistant Removal instructions!

Shopping Assistant is a potentially unwanted adware program. It’s deceptive and hazardous, not to mention, damaging. The tool may be marketed as helpful and trustworthy, but don’t fall for that! Its selling point is nothing more than smoke and mirrors, and once you look past the sugary layer of deceit, that becomes painfully apparent. The application claims to assist you in increasing your savings, but it does no such thing. In reality, it costs you money. It tries to convince you that it helps you save money, but that’s a lie. Supposedly, it uses its never-ending myriad of pop-up ads to provide you with news of all the best deals and bargains, a well as with coupons for various online sales. Even though, that’s a promise, which the program technically keeps as it does display these incredible-sounding offers, in reality, neither one of them does you any good. Why? Well, because you can’t take advantage of them, or rather, it’s advised NOT to. The program’s pop-ups are immensely unreliable and bundled with all kinds of malevolent tools. If you click on even one, be it by accident or choice, you’ll unwillingly agree to install more malware on your PC. So, if you wish to keep your system clean from such infections, you mustn’t click on even a single ad, the application displays. But the catch is that if you want to take advantage of the offers Shopping Assistant displays via its pop-ups, you have to click on them. It’s a true catch 22, isn’t it? Do the wise thing and don’t allow yourself to be fooled by this intrusive, harmful tool. It’s not worth even half the trouble it causes, and despite trying to convince you otherwise, it’s incredibly damaging. Remove Shopping Assistant at once as the fine print reveals the negatives far outnumber the positives.

How did I get infected with?

Shopping Assistant resorts to the usual antics to gain access to your system. More often than not, the application hitches a ride with freeware as it provides possibly the easiest entry point. That’s because, most users tend to pay little to no attention during its installation. For some reason, they appear to believe that rushing the process and NOT bothering to read the terms and conditions is a grand idea. Instead, they just agree to all of them in haste and hope for the best. Well, soon after that, they discover just how grave of a mistake that was as they’re forced to deal with the never-ending pile of issues, which accompanies adware and grows on a daily basis. The moment they realize the scope and repercussions of their horrendous decision hits them when the program commences its bombardment of ads. If you wish to protect your computer from deceitful adware infections such as Shopping Assistant, be more cautious! Don’t give into naivety and don’t rush. Try to remember that a little extra attention today can save you a lot of headaches and troubles tomorrow.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Shopping Assistant does indeed slither into your computer quite slyly and subtly, but once it’s in, there’s nothing subtle about it. Shortly after it settles in, it begins a full-on bombardment of pop-up ads. Each and every time you try to browse the web, your online experience will be interrupted by a pop-up. That disturbance will not stop unless you get rid of the application altogether. And, you can be sure that this little disruption won’t be the only issue you’ll be faced with, courtesy of the program. For one, due to the ads’ continuous popping up, your system will frequently crash, and your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl. What’s more, as was already stated, due to the ads being highly unreliable, you’ll be exposed to a grave malware risk. But even that won’t be your biggest concern when it comes to Shopping Assistant. The worst part of getting stuck with the application will be the severe security threat it places upon you. Once the tool sneaks in, it starts spying on you. It keeps track of your browsing and catalogs every move you make. When it determines it has collected enough data from you, it proceeds to send it to the unknown individuals behind it. That means strangers will have access to your personal and financial information. Are you going to stand for that? Are you willing to gamble so much for a program that gives you so little in return? It’s up to you to decide.
