Do you know what Shopsafer is?
Shopsafer is just another adware program that displays annoying commercial advertisements. We are of the opinion that you should remove this unreliable application, since the advertisements it promotes are largely supplied by third-parties. On top of that, the application can easily collect information about you and send it back to the developers. It is also common practice to share the retrieved information with the promoted third-parties, so that they can make more money. There is no way of knowing what might be advertised via this application, because the developers do not check whether the promoted content is safe. So we suggest that you remove Shopsafer at your earliest convenience.
Like all adware applications, Shopsafer’s advertisement campaign gives the impression that the program will enhance your browsing experience by providing you with up-to-date information about the best offers found on online retailers. It is claimed that the application will recognize the product you are looking for and will find a cheaper product in another store. But there is a slight problem: The fact of the matter is that Shopsafer is not and cannot be integrated with numerous online shopping websites, because legitimate companies do not do business with small-time advertisers. The claim that the application is connected with more than 6,000 websites is an overstatement.
