Price Master Ads

What is Price Master?

Price Master supposedly saves time and money while shopping online by providing coupons, notifying users about special deals/discounts available on various online stores, and enabling functionality such as comparison shopping.

Many users believe this app to legitimate and useful, however, due to its rogue behavior, Price Master is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Price Master infiltrates systems without users’ permission, generates intrusive online advertisements, and continually tracks Internet browsing activity.

This application records Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine geo-location), website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered into search engines, cookies, web beacons, and other browsing-related data. On initial inspection, this information may seem insignificant, however, it is likely to contain personally identifiable details.

The developers of Price Master shares the data with third parties, and there is a high probability that it will be misused to generate revenue. Tracking of personal data can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. Furthermore, Price Master generates coupon, pop-up, banner, and other similar intrusive advertisements.

Many users are unaware that these advertisements do not originate from their visited websites. By concealing underlying web content, ads generated by Price Master diminish the Internet browsing experience.

Although most lead to various online stores and other similar e-commerce sites, some redirect to the malicious site. Thus, clicking them may cause high-risk adware or malware infections.

Price Master is not the only application offering money saving features. There are hundreds of other virtually identical PUPs. For instance, Internet Cupom, Dealz, CashBack, and FashioLifeApp also offer identical features. Neither Price Master, nor any of these other applications, provide and real value for users.

All adware is designed to generate revenue for the developers. Rather than providing any useful features, these applications generate intrusive online advertisements and collect personally identifiable information, thereby posing a threat to the system and user privacy.
