Price Clip Ads

What is Price Clip?

Created by SuperWeb LLC, Price Clip is a dubious plug-in claiming to improve the Internet browsing experience by enabling various features such as coupons, comparison shopping, etc. This may seem legitimate and useful functionality, however, Price Clip is classed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) or adware.

Price Clip is distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of third-party apps together with regular software).

Following installation on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox without users' consent, Price Clip delivers various intrusive online advertisements including banners, pop-ups, and full-page. Clicking ads generated by this plug-in may redirect you to dubious websites, and thus risk computer infection.

As with other regular adware, Price Clip continually monitors and collects various software and hardware information such as unique identifier numbers, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine users' geographic locations), search queries entered, URLs visited, pages viewed, and other recorded information that may contain personally identifiable details.

Therefore, the presence of Price Clip adware on your system may result in serious privacy issues or identity theft. SuperWeb LLC releases identical browser plug-ins under different names to avoid detection by legitimate antivirus suites.

For example, FlippyRoo, Shopymate, Blue Bulletin, and Sharp Angle also claim to enhance the Internet browsing experience by enabling identical features, however, none are useful to the user - their purpose is to generate revenue by the display of ads and sharing collected data with third parties. You are strongly advised to uninstall Price Clip adware from your system immediately.

Research shows that popular freeware download websites such as download.com, soft32.com, and softonic.com monetize their traffic and free services using small 'download programs' (also called 'installers', 'download managers', 'download clients', and so on).

Although download programs claim to ease the free software download process, they are developed to offer installation of additional apps together with the chosen software. In some cases, installation of third-party applications is hidden under the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' options.

According to the developers, these advertised third-party apps are 'legitimate', however, most are classed as adware or malware. To avoid such infections, closely inspect each step of the free software download process and never accept offers to install additional programs.

Furthermore, downloaded software should be installed using the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' options - this will reveal any bundled applications listed for installation and allow you to decline them. If you have installed Price Clip, read the following removal guide and uninstall this adware from your system.
