Are ads published by MacPriceCut showing up non-stop on your browser? That means that your computer’s been infected by a potentially unwanted software program. This page explains how to make MacPriceCut ads disappear.
MacPriceCut is a browser plug-in that gets installed on Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer and is the one to blame when MacPriceCut ads get embedded non-stop on any website you visit. MacPriceCut ads show up everywhere as soon as this adware program gets installed on your PC. This adware program disseminates from numerous websites: you can get it from its fake “official” web page, or you could have installed it without wanting to through fake software updates (usually Flash or Java) or other free downloads that torrent and streaming downloading websites are crawling with.
This malevolent program is stationed on your computer for only one reason: to find out how you surf the web so that it can offer targeted advertising, which will in turn make money for the designers of this plug-in. Adware uses the data it’s gathered to create databases that are then bought by partners. Be aware that each MacPriceCut ad that is clicked on or viewed will make money for its owner. It is therefore always recommended to carefully keep an eye on what installations you’re being offered right before installing the program on your PC. Do not under any circumstances click too quickly on the “Next” button during the installation process. If the installation program offers an “Advanced” button or an option allowing you to personalize installation, click on it so that you don’t install any programs that could be potentially dangerous for your machine.
