About The Ultimate Shopping Search browser hijacker

This infection operates as browser add-on and is completely compatible with all most common web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or even Safari. That means Apple users should be aware of it as well.

The ultimate reason why The Ultimate Shopping Search is considered as malware – stealing homepage on web browsers. Once it gets into your system, settings on web browsers will be changed without even asking you for the permission to do that. Now every time you open web browser, this webpage will appear. If you try to change settings on web browsers while computer is still infected with the virus, it will change those settings back, so it’s not worth trying to do it.

Let’s just assume that you love shopping online and this tool might be useful to you. It’s yet not recommended to use it. That’s because most of those offers come from cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers. You might already know that they are banned from legitimate advertising networks like Google or Facebook ads, thus malware like this is the only option to drive some traffic to their websites. That being said, if you keep The Ultimate Shopping Search installed on your computer, various hackers and scammers will be able to reach you right on your web browsers on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.

The Ultimate Shopping Search might be also responsible for slower work of your computer. It might even collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited websites or even your IP and email addresses. This information can be leaked to the third parties later on.
