Where does ShopzyApp come from?

Judging from its homepage at shopzyapp.com, ShopzyApp is directly related to Price Defend adware application. Although both programs have different interfaces, and the layouts of their websites differ, the text on the front page of both sites is practically identical. Our researchers say that these programs belong to the new family of adware programs called the Shopmania.

When you access shopzyapp.com, you are offered to try Shopzy because with this application installed on your computer, you will “never miss a low price again.” This application “only shows you deals that match the product you are looking to buy.” Nevertheless, despite these alluring claims it does not seem like it is possible to download ShopzyApp from the official website.

Clicking the download button leads you to an error page, so it would not be too far-fetched to say that ShopzyApp enters your computer in software bundles. Perhaps you had no intention to install this application on your PC in the first place, but if ShopzyApp was part of some software package you have recently downloaded from torrent or a file sharing website, then there is a good chance that you have installed it along with the program you wanted to have for yourself.

What does ShopzyApp do?

As any genuine adware application, ShopzyApp gets installed on your browser as an add-on, and then it collects information on what websites you visit and what you search for online. This tracking of your web browsing activity allows ShopzyApp to customize its advertisements based on your likes and preferences.

Later on, ShopzyApp displays commercial ads on Amazon, eBay, and other popular online shopping sites. Users are strongly discouraged to click any of the ShopzyApp ads because the outgoing links in those ads can be embedded there by cyber criminals. The adware program outsources the ad content from third parties, so it cannot check whether you get redirected to reliable websites. As a result, in the worst case scenario, this adware may inadvertently expose you to malware distribution schemes, and you certainly must avoid that.

How do I remove ShopzyApp?

You remove ShopzyApp via Control Panel, although you will have to delete the extension from your browser manually. After manual removal, make sure you scan your PC once more with the SpyHunter free scanner because you need to check for other potentially unwanted programs. Since adware apps seldom travel alone, you definitely have more potential security issues to take care of.
