TakeShop

TakeShop is a browser add-on that gets on your computer alongside media players, browser add-ons, and other free programs downloaded from unreliable websites. If you tend to ignore the information displayed by the installation wizards, you may think that TakeShop has been installed without your permission. TakeShop is a program displaying commercial and non-commercial offers, and this behavior determines its category. The TakeShop browser add-on is classified as adware, and we advise you to remove it from your computer as soon as you can.

TakeShop is based on the JustPlugIt platform, which has been used to create multiple identical and similar advertising-supported browser add-ons. For example, TakeShop is very similar to TicTacCoupon, Unisaloes, and many other programs. JustPlugIt programs are regarded as adware and are included in the databases of certain malware and spyware removal programs.

We urge you to remove the TakeShop program because its advertisements, including web banners, interstitial advertisements, pop-ups, and other types of ads, are not reviewed endorsed by the creators of the program. TakeShop is not responsible for the advertising content displayed on your screen because every website you are taken to by TakeShop is governed by a separate privacy policy. TakeShop has no control over the activities of third parties, which means that you are the only one responsible for your interaction and correspondence with third parties and their websites.

The fact that TakeShop pays no attention to the activities of the websites advertised means that any website, including malicious ones, can be promoted by TakeShop. The program itself cannot inflict damage to the computer; all that it can do is monitor your browsing behavior. {Since the "but" clause applies to both of the previous clauses, it works better as a separate sentence.} But a single click on a deceptive advertisement may lead you to serious issues. You should ignore pop-ups promoting system scanners, updates for your Java or Flash player, online games, and other suspect offers, because they may be aimed at luring you into downloading malware or revealing your personal information. The risk of being directed to malicious websites should not be disregarded; hence, we recommend that you remove TakeShop from your computer as soon as you can.

As regards the removal of TakeShop, we advise you to use a powerful malware and spyware removal program. If you try to remove TakeShop manually, do not forget to implement a reputable security tool afterwards. There are many malicious programs that can inflict damage to your operating system, so, if you want to be safe while browsing the Internet, do not hesitate to install a reputable security program.
