Amazon 1Button App Unwanted Application

What is Amazon 1Button App?

The Amazon 1Button App browser extension claims to allow users to compare prices, see the latest deals/discounts, and use other functions on the Amazon.com website.

Although this application is not related to adware, malware, or other computer threats, it is 'bundled' together with other adware-type apps, and therefore, it is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

Bundling is often used by software developers to stealthily distribute their applications together with other software, and for this reason, users commonly install Amazon 1Button App inadvertently together with free software downloadable on freeware download websites.

Popular freeware download websites including download.com, soft32.com, softonic.com, etc. monetize their traffic and free services using small programs called 'download managers' (also called 'installers', 'download clients', etc.). Download managers offer installation of additional programs with downloaded free software.

It is stated that these promoted applications are legitimate, however, most are categorized as adware or malware. Those rogue applications deliver intrusive online advertisements, redirect users to bogus websites, and collect Internet browsing data (which is later shared with third parties) in order to generate revenue.

There are other applications similar to Amazon 1Button App including Amazon Smarth Search Toolbar, Find Ultra Premium Merchants, Cash Reminder, and GetNow. These provide none of the features offered. In fact, they diminish browser performance, and may cause further computer infections or even privacy issues.

To avoid installation of potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), closely analyse the free software download procedure steps and opt-out of any additionally-included apps. Furthermore, downloaded applications should be installed using the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' options - this will reveal any hidden applications listed for installation and allow you to uncheck them.
