As a potentially unwanted program, ShoppStop is classified as adware. This program, during web browsing, displays advertising without user’s approval. In fact, ShoppStop, which starts really discreetly, is a navigation extension and can be adhered to your primary browser (whether it’s Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer).
ShoppStop can penetrate the computer system via various downloads from non-recommendable sites. Those can be:
- File readers (PDF, video)
- False updates of plugins or software (Java, Flash)
- Crack of hack software
- Certain attached documents from scam emails
The user can allow inadvertently its installation when he’s not attentive during the installation process of free programs.
When ShoppStop is installed on you system, it can:
- Modify the browsing experience by slowing down the running of your various software and also by changing the settings of your primary browser
- Multiply the advertising display on sites that you visit
- Record your internet activity (browsing history, history of visited pages)
If you find out that ShoppStop is on your computer, you can remove it with the help of the following procedure:
