Price Wagon Ads

What is Price Wagon?

Developed by SHOPMANIA NET SRL, the Price Wagon rogue browser add-on claims to save time and money by finding the best available online deals. Although some users may find this functionality legitimate and useful, Price Wagon is categorized as adware.

This association is made due to a deceptive free software marketing method called 'bundling' employed by the developers to install Price Wagon without users' consent. Bundling is a way to stealthily distribute third-party add-ons together with the chosen software.

Therefore, reckless download of free software often leads to inadvertent installation of Price Wagon. Once installed, this bogus plug-in generates intrusive advertisements that commonly redirect to rogue websites containing infectious content, and thus, exposing your computer to infection.

Furthermore, Price Wagon tracks and records various software and hardware information that may contain personally identifiable details including, for example, IP addresses, websites visited, pages viewed, content on these pages, etc. The presence of this information-tracking extension on your system can result in serious privacy issues or identity theft.

There are many adware plug-ins similar or identical to Price Wagon. For example, Price Rocket, Price Defend, Web Protector, and Befrugal are also categorized as adware and offer similar features.

These adware applications provide no value to the user - they are developed to generate revenue by the display of ads and sharing collected information with third parties. For these reasons, Price Wagon should be removed from your system immediately.

Most popular freeware download websites employ small 'download programs' (also called 'installers', 'download managers', 'download clients', etc.) to monetize their free services and traffic. These apps offer installation of additional programs when downloading free software.

Promoted apps are regularly described as legitimate, however, reckless download and installation usually results in adware or malware infections, including Price Wagon. This situation can be avoided by paying close attention when downloading free software and declining all offers to install additional programs.

Furthermore, software downloaded from the Internet should be installed using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options - this will reveal any third-party apps listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. The following instructions will guide you through removal of Price Wagon from your system.
