ShoppingGid

You will do yourself a favor if you remove ShoppingGid from your computer. At first glance, this application might seem like a useful browser extension that will help you save money whenever you shop online. However, computer security experts say that you should uninstall ShoppingGid as soon as possible because this application could be used as an information gathering and malware distribution tool by malevolent third parties. So scroll down to the bottom of this article for the manual removal instructions and make sure you terminate all the other unwanted applications at the same time as well.

Unlike most of the other adware applications that employ only third-party installers for their distribution, ShoppingGid can also be downloaded from its official homepage. You can access the page at shoppinggid.com. However, the website does not offer you much information on the application, except for a few lines that say ShoppingGid is your best online shopping companion, and it can help you find the goods you want at the lowest price.

Another unique feature of this application is that ShoppingGid is entirely in Russian. Hence, if you do not download this application from the main website, but it still pops up onto your screen when you browse the web, it is only natural to get flustered. After all, what would a Russian adware application be doing on your computer if you do not even speak Russian?

The point with adware applications is that they do not differentiate between languages. In other words, you might get infected with a foreign adware application even if you do not know the language. This happens when you download freeware applications from file sharing websites. It is very likely that ShoppingGid managed to enter your computer along with a number of other potentially unwanted programs. You should scan your PC with the SpyHunter free scanner to determine what programs must be removed from your system ASAP.

Needless to say, there is no need to keep ShoppingGid on your computer either. Adware programs might seem like nuisances, but they might as well become dangerous tools in malware distribution schemes and other cybercrime networks. This is not just about avoiding random pop-ups on your web browser’s screen. It is about protecting your personal information and other users like you from potential exploitation that can end with financial theft or a complete system hijack.

Open Control Panel and remove ShoppingGid manually. If you think that there might be some other files and registry entries that might help the program regenerate, then you should invest in a legitimate antispyware application that will keep your computer protected 24/7.
