Alpha Shoppers is a malicious program that is usually installed behind your back. To show ads and to collect our personal data, are the two main goals sough after by Alpha Shoppers, and believe us it was specially designed to achieve them. These ads can be seen as banners, pop-ups, fake Google results, or blue/green underlined words directly among the content of every website visited. Usually we see these ads labeled as Ads by Alpha Shoppers or Powered by Alpha Shoppers.
Besides ruining your browsing experience, Alpha Shoppers also makes sure to spy on what you do on-line by saving every search you perform and every website you visit. Alpha Shoppers goes as far as analyzing your whole computer, according to them for “statistics” means only, or so they say on their conditions of use. The truth is quite different as all this data is used to fill out databases that will be sold afterwards.
This adware can be found along with fake updates either for programs or plug-ins such as Flash and Java, usually found in video streaming websites.
If you’ve been infected with Alpha Shoppers you must be careful with websites offering you a removal solution because most of those are just tricks trying to get you to buy a scareware that will be useless and hard to remove as well.
