This can only mean that the extension gets installed on the system silently and with the help of bundled downloads.

They are packed with several other programs that include system optimization tools, adware, browser hijackers, and so on.

Why are these ads dangerous?

To stay true to its nature, the ad-supported extension Shopping Fever will get acquainted with your browsing habits by monitoring your activity on the web. The add-on will collect information about it which will be used to make the ads you see more attractive. It is assumed that the more an ad appeals to the users, the more likely it is for them to click it. And more clicks mean more money for the developers of the extension. The problem is that Shopping Fever is sponsored by dubious third parties, and the displayed ads actually contain links to the websites of these parties.
