Ads by AllCheapPrice

What is AllCheapPrice?
AllCheapPrice is a dubious browser add-on that claims to save time and money by displaying various special deals/discounts available on shopping websites and by enabling comparison shopping, coupons, and other similar features. These functions may seem legitimate and useful, however, AllCheapPrice is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUP).
This plug-in is developed to use a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional applications together with the chosen software) to install on Internet browsers without users' permission.
Following successful installation on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, AllCheapPrice generates various intrusive online advertisements that may lead to further high-risk adware or malware infections. For example: banner, pop-up, coupon, and price comparison ads.
In addition, AllCheapPrice continually monitors users' Internet browsing activity by collecting various software and hardware information that may be personally identifiable. For example: IP addresses, search queries, URLs visited, pages viewed, etc. It is highly probable that this behavior will result in serious privacy issues or identity theft.
Applications similar to AllCheapPrice include PlusBrowserApps, SmartShopper, and SlimPrice. These applications are just some examples among many others, none of which (including AllCheapPrice) provide any significant value for the user - they are developed to generate revenue by the display of intrusive online advertisements and sharing collected data with third parties. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to uninstall AllCheapPrice from your system.
Adware-type applications such as AllCheapPrice are mostly distributed via small programs called 'download managers' on freeware download websites including download.com, softonic.com, soft32.com, etc.
Download managers are used to monetize these websites' traffic and free services by offering installation of promoted (according to the developers, '100% legitimate virus-free') browser plug-ins together with the chosen free software. Despite these statements, reckless download and installation of freeware often results in adware or malware infections.
To avoid installation of AllCheapPrice, or other similar adware, closely follow each step during the freeware download procedure and click 'Decline' if installation of any additional programs is offered.
Furthermore, software downloaded from the Internet should be installed using the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical' - this will reveal any bundled applications listed for installation and allow you to decline them.
If you have installed AllCheapPrice, and you observe intrusive online advertisements, read the following removal guide and uninstall this adware from your Internet browsers.
