It’s almost certain that this kind of ads campaigns pays very good because we see this kind of programs more and more every day, it’s extremely difficult to escape from them.

ShopDrop is mostly seen attached to freeware setup programs, a technique that is used by many download platforms such as 01net, Softonic, Soft32, Download.com, etc… we should notice that these platforms also make money with every successful installation, giving them a good reason to attach this kind of program to almost their entire collection of available downloads. However, it’s not the only way to get yourself infected, it also happens through fake software or fake updates commonly seen in P2P networks or popular streaming sites.
