BrowserAShop

Users often ignore commercial pop-ups that spring into their screen because they think it is not much of a problem. Unfortunately, these pop-ups are induced by such programs as BrowserAShop, and having those applications on your computer could lead to severe security issues. You should remove BrowserAShop from your system as soon as possible if you want to keep your computer clean and safe. For the manual removal instructions, you can scroll down to the bottom of this description. However, you should also get yourself a licensed antispyware tool to ensure your PC is protected from similar intruders in the future.

BrowserAShop cannot be considered a malicious program because it does not enter your system surreptitiously. It is very likely that you do not notice when or how BrowserAShop gets installed on your computer, but the truth is that you are the one who sets up this application on your PC. It happens because this adware application gets distributed bundled with freeware.

In other words, BrowserAShop gets installed on your computer together with a number of other potentially unwanted applications that you download from torrent and other file sharing websites. These sites often contain the InstallRex, Amonetize, and Vittalia installers that distribute adware and potentially unwanted freeware. Therefore, it means that when you are ready to remove BrowserAShop from your computer, it is very likely that you will need to remove many other applications that could pose potential security threats to your system.

The BrowserAShop adware application itself is based on the JustPlugIt engine, and it comes from the Multiplug adware family. It does not present us with anything new because it is just another clone of BuyFast, OfferSoft, DollarSaver, BuyAndBrowse, and so on. All these applications employ similar distribution methods, and they affect target systems in a similar fashion.

With BrowserAShop installed on your computer, you will be flooded with various commercial advertisements that are supposed to display discount links and coupon offers. The content of these pop-ups is generated according to your web browsing history because BrowserAShop collects information on your web browsing habits. This could be problematic because all the information collected by this application might be leaked to an unreliable third party. Eventually, it could even result in a malware infection, and that is definitely something all the users out there want to avoid.

Hence, delete BrowserAShop from your computer right now, and then terminate other potentially unwanted applications that might be slowing down your system. If you have any further questions on how to ensure your system’s security, do not hesitate to leave us a comment.
