Shop Time is a name given to an ad injector that installs itself through freeware setup programs found in certain download platforms. This technique allows Shop Time to be massively installed into computers whose users would never install it by choice. This is why we always recommend to read thoroughly everything offered as optional features with anything downloaded from the internet. You must always also customize the setup programs so you can reject anything you don’t wish to install. This will protect you from installing a huge sort of unwanted and annoying program.
Shop Time is installed with two goals in mind: first of all to show as much publicity as possible when you’re browsing the internet and to spy on our browsing habits.
If your browse what it looks like Shop Time‘s official website, you won’t probably be infected by this ad injector, because even though there’s a download button, it doesn’t work at all. The only reason for the existence of this website is to publish Shop Time‘s conditions of use, where some of its tasks are detailed… this would protect them from a legal point of view, plus it gives it a legitimate look.
