Ads by rePrice

What is rePrice?

Developed by Monetizus, rePrice is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that claims to save time and money by enabling comparison shopping, coupons, and by displaying special discounts and deals available on shopping websites. While this functionality may seem legitimate and useful, be aware that rePrice is categorized as adware.

rePrice employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional programs together with the chosen software) to install on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) without users' permission.

Following successful infiltration, rePrice delivers intrusive online ads such as banner, coupon, pop-up, and in-text ads. It is highly probable that clicking these advertisements will lead to high-risk adware or malware infections.

Additionally, users' Internet browsing activity is continually tracked, since rePrice collects various software and hardware information including IP addresses, browser data (cookies, URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc.), operating system, Windows Registry details, and other information that may be personally identifiable.

This information tracking may result in serious privacy issues or identity theft. rePrice is similar to other rogue applications that claim to enhance the Internet browsing experience. Some examples are ZoomIt, Cheapster, SlickSignet, and SaveZ among many others.

None of these applications (including rePrice) are useful to the user - their purpose is to generate revenue by the display of intrusive oline ads and sharing collected data with third parties. Therefore, Internet users are strongly advised to eliminate rePrice from their systems.

Close examination of rePrice reveals that it is mostly distributed via small download programs (called 'download managers', 'download clients', 'installers', etc.) on freeware download websites such as download.com, softonic.com, soft32.com and many others.

Download programs are used to monetize these websites' free services and traffic by offering installation of promoted (according to the developers, '100% legitimate and virus-free') browser extensions together with the chosen free software. Thus, reckless download and installation of freeware risks computer infection with adware or malware.

Installation of rePrice, or other similar adware, can be avoided by closely observing each step of the free software download procedure and clicking 'Decline' if installation of any additional programs is offered.

Furthermore, all software downloaded from the Internet should be installed using the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options, rather than 'Typical', 'Regular', or 'Quick' - this will reveal any hidden applications listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. If your computer is infected with rePrice, follow the instructions below to uninstall this adware from your Internet browsers.
