iShopper Ads

What is iShopper?

The developers of iShopper claim that this product will save time and money by enabling comparison shopping, coupons, and displaying special deals/discounts available on shopping websites. On initial inspection, this rogue software may seem legitimate and useful, however, iShopper is classed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

This negative association is made due to a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional programs together with regular software) employed by the developers to distribute iShopper.

After infiltration on Internet browsers, iShopper generates various intrusive online advertisements including coupon, comparison shopping, banner, etc. These ads often redirect to bogus websites containing infectious content, and therefore, clicking them may expose your computer to risk of infection.

Furthermore, iShopper collects various software and hardware information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine users' geolocations), browser type and data (websites visited, search queries entered into search engines, pages viewed and content on these pages), and so on.

Collected data may be personally identifiable, and therefore, the behavior of this app may result in serious privacy issues or even identity theft. There are many rogue adware applications similar or identical to iShopper including CorAdviser, View That Deal, Coupoon, Price Expert, and Price Wagon.

These apps also claim to help users to save time and money. Despite these claims, iShopper and other adware-types apps are useless to the user - they are developed simply to generate revenue by the display of intrusive online advertisements and sharing collected information with third parties. You are strongly advised to eliminate iShopper from your Internet browsers immediately.

Most adware is distributed via small programs called 'download managers' on freeware download websites such as soft32.com, softonic.com, download.com, and many others.

Download managers claim to ease the download process, however, they are employed solely to monetize these websites' traffic and free services by offering installation of third party applications, or simply by hiding them under the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options.

Additional offered apps are often described as legitimate, however, most are categorized as adware or malware infections. Installation of bogus applications can be avoided by closely inspecting each step of the free software download process and ensuring that no additional applications are included.

Furthermore, software downloaded from the Internet should be installed using the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' options - this will reveal any hidden applications listed for installation and allow you to uncheck them.

If you have installed iShopper, and you observe intrusive advertisements while surfing the Internet, the following guidelines will help you to eliminate this adware from your system.
