What is Premier League ScoopsZone?
Premier League ScoopsZone is a browser extension presented as a great tool to monitor Premier League football news. Some users may assume that this plug-in is legitimate and useful, however, Premier League ScoopsZone is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.
This add-on is distributed using the 'bundling' method (stealth installation of additional programs during download/installation of regular software), and this is one of the reasons for these negative associations. Premier League ScoopsZone is often distributed with free software on freeware download websites.
After infiltration on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome), Premier League ScoopsZone gathers various Internet browsing-related information and displays intrusive online advertisements.
Premier League ScoopsZone collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, website URLs visited, search queries entered into search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.), cookies, and other similar information.
This recorded information may be personally identifiable, and therefore, the presence of Premier League ScoopsZone adware on your system can lead to serious privacy issues. Furthermore, there is a high probability that advertisements (and their associated links) delivered by this app will redirect users to bogus websites, thus clicking them might cause further high-risk computer infections.
There are hundreds of dubious applications claiming to enable a wide range of features to improve the Internet browsing experience including SearchFin, Higher Aurum, and NetSpeed App.
None, however, provide any significant value to the user - they display intrusive online ads and collect personally identifiable data (which is later shared with third parties) to generate revenue. Since Premier league ScoopsZone is regular adware with associated behavior, you are strongly advised to uninstall it from your system immediately.
Dubious applications such as this are distributed using small programs called 'download clients' on freeware download websites including soft32.com and downloads.com.
Download clients (also called 'installers', 'download tools', 'download managers', etc.) are developed to offer installation of additional programs together with the chosen software, and thereby monetizing download websites' traffic and free services.
The developers make assurances that their software is genuine and virus-free, however, careless download and installation of freeware risks high-risk adware or malware infections. This situation can be avoided by inspecting each step of the free software download procedure and unchecking any third party applications included.
Furthermore, downloaded programs should be installed using the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal any additional software listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. If your computer has been infected with Premier League ScoopsZone adware, the following guidelines will help you to eliminate this bogus application from your system.
