What does ExtraShopper do?
ExtraShopper is based on the JustPlugIt engine. Other adware applications are also based on this engine, and the list includes ExstraCoupon, WowCoupon, SalesChecker, SharkManCoupon, to name a few. After ExtraShopper successfully enters your operating system, it will install browser extensions to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. These browser extensions are used to display adverts while you are browsing the web. These adverts are useless and could potentially be malicious.
It has been noticed that some of the ads provided by ExtraShopper contain redirect links. Thus, you could land on various suspicious websites. In some instances, you could be redirected to corrupted websites running an arbitrary code execution exploit meaning that just by landing on such a website, your system will be infected with an unknown malware. It is also possible to land on a fake online shop. Such websites are created by cybercriminals in order to steal your sensitive data. In both cases, consequences could be extremely detrimental. Removal of ExtraShopper is a must if you do not wish to experience the detrimental consequences.

They are usually obtained on third-party download websites, so, in order to reduce the risk of getting your system infected in this manner, you should download software from official websites only. Furthermore, install a licensed antimalware tool as it will provide overall system security.
