Shopper-Pro is a Browser Helper Object that is usually categorized as potentially unwanted. It pretends to be very helpful and user-friendly during online shopping, providing you coupons and saving your money. However, it is only a marketing method to make you visit specific sites and increase the number of their visitors.

Once Shopper-Pro reaches its target PC, it affects all Internet browsers and starts displaying its commercial pop up ads. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up. Shopper-Pro collects information about your web browsing behavior, and all the sites you frequently visit or your most common web search queries. In the future, you can protect your browser with Web Companion.

Shopper-Pro is supported by third-party advertising, and when you download it you will see various types of advertisements displayed through your browser as you visit locations on the Internet. It currently displays several basic types of advertising: sponsored links, traditional display advertisements, such as banner ads, "pop-unders" and interstitial ads, coupons, and video targeted ads. The sponsored links may sometimes appear as in-text advertising. Sponsored links may also be displayed in response to keyword searches you enter through Google, Bing and other search engines.

There are two ways to get Shopper-Pro. You can download it manually from its official website. However, on most of the cases Shopper-Pro gets inside the system in a bundle with other programs. The majority of PUPs can be installed in a bundle with some freeware or shareware you want. But you don't realize that you're getting Potentially Unwanted Program in addition with it too. That is why it is always recommended to choose Custom Installation. Be attentive and never install software that you don’t know or trust.

If it wasn't your intention to download Shopper-Pro we recommend removing it from the computer.
