Ads by FrameFox Shop

What is FrameFox Shop?

FrameFox Shop is presented as a legitimate browser extension that supposedly saves time and money by providing shopping coupons, displaying special deals/discounts available on various online stores, and enabling features such as comparison shopping - "FrameFox Shop is a shop helper application for an Internet consumers. While surfing Internet, chatting your friends about awesome goods or sharing thoughts in social networks, it looks up into your subjects and helps to find a best offer for a reasonable price." 

Many users believe that this plug-in is legitimate, however, be aware that FrameFox Shop is categorized as a potentially unwanted adware-type program. After stealthily infiltrating the system, FrameFox Shop records various browsing-related data and continually delivers intrusive online advertisements.

FrameFox Shop employs a 'virtual layer' to generate pop-up, banner, coupon, and other similar intrusive ads. These advertisements do not originate from users' visited websites and, therefore, by concealing underlying web content, they significantly diminish the Internet browsing experience.

Furthermore, some redirect to malicious sites, some of which will contain infectious content. Thus, clicking these ads risks further adware or malware infections. As with other regular adware, FrameFox Shop gathers various information relating to users' Internet browsing activity including IP addresses, website URLs visited, pages viewed, and search queries.

This collected information might contain personally identifiable details, which the developers share with third parties. Thus, the presence of FrameFox Shop adware on your system can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to uninstall this PUP immediately.

This application shares many similarities with many other potentially unwanted programs such as Serpens, eDealMan, and PriceFountain. By giving fake promises to enhance the Internet browsing experience, apps such as FrameFox Shop attempt to trick users to install.

In fact, none provide the functionality promised. Adware-type applications are designed to generate revenue for the developers - these applications merely generate intrusive advertisements and collect personally identifiable information.

How did FrameFox Shop install on my computer?

FrameFox Shop has an official download website, however, it is also distributed using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'. For this reason, many users install this PUP inadvertently. Research shows that many users rush the download/installation processes and skip most/all steps.

Aware of this, developers intentionally conceal bundled software within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings. By skipping this section, users commonly install potentially unwanted programs inadvertently, thus, posing a threat to their systems and privacy.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

Installation of adware-type programs can be prevented by taking two simple steps. Firstly, be attentive during the download and installation processes. The key to computer safety is caution. Each step of these processes should be closely analyzed using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings.

Secondly, cancel all bundled applications, since there is a high probability that additionally-included software will be malicious.
