Ultimate Shopping Search

The way Ultimate Shopping Search is described on its distribution website, it might seem like the application can help you find exactly what you are looking for. If the software's description caught your attention, we advise you to read more about this tool before installing it. First of all, users should know the application is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). While it is installed, the extension might collect information related to your browsing and show you targeted ads from its third-party partners. Most likely, its goal is not to look for useful deals, but to generate advertising revenue from the user’s clicks. There is even a possibility the provided advertisements could come from unreliable web pages; thus, we advise users not to take any chances. As for those who find such content irritating, we would encourage you not to hesitate to erase Ultimate Shopping Search; the instructions placed below can guide you through the removal process.

At the moment the extension is compatible with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, although it is available only on Chrome Web Store. Also, the PUP can be downloaded from its official web page called ultimateshoppingsearch.com. Nonetheless, our researchers determined the application could be distributed through bundled software installers too. In such case, some users may get it unintentionally while installing another program. If you received Ultimate Shopping Search unknowingly, we would advise you to be more attentive during the installation process. To make sure no other tools are added automatically, users should always pick advanced installation tools, read the provided terms carefully, and deselect the offers they do not need. This advice may help you keep the computer clean from potentially dangerous or unwanted applications.

Ultimate Shopping Search should not change your browser’s appearance a lot as it is supposed to add a single icon on the top-right corner. If the icon is clicked, it opens a search box. What you should know about this tool is that it might provide a modified search engine. It means the PUP could inject the results you get with additional advertising content. Similar advertisements could appear while simply surfing the Internet. The application’s description says this extension “provides shop recommendations for your taste, based on what you search for.” To put in other words, users might receive the so-called targeted ads that usually promote content based on the user's search keywords, clicked ads, and so on. Therefore, it probably does not matter if you are shopping online or simply searching for some information; whatever keyword you use, the PUP might show ads accordingly.

Furthermore, we should mention the advertisements Ultimate Shopping Search provides could be untrustworthy. Neither the software’s Privacy Policy nor the Terms of Use documents specify where these ads may come from. Moreover, none of the statements explain whether the PUP’s creators take any responsibility for the extension’s displayed advertising content. Our researchers say there is a possibility some of the ads could come from unreliable third-party web pages, e.g. such sites could promote other suspicious software or even potentially malicious threats. Needless to say, that if you so not want to risk encountering such content, it might be wise to be cautious and get rid of the extension.

Ultimate Shopping Search is not an application you could delete through Control Panel. Apparently, if you want to erase it manually, you would have to remove the extension from the browser it affected and then reset it. There is also one more way to deal with this potentially unwanted program. If you are willing to acquire a legitimate antimalware tool, you could install it on the computer and run a full system scan. During it, the software would detect the application along with other possible threats that might have accumulated over some time. In order to eliminate them all at the same time the user simply needs to click the removal button. If you decide to acquire an antimalware tool, we advise you always to keep it updated so it could be able to guard the system against newer threats.
