What is LowPrices?

LowPrices is a program that is supposed to provide you with various discounts and coupon offers on popular online shopping sites. If you are an avid online shopper, this application may seem to be a gift from heavens, but do not be so hasty to click on anything LowPrices offers. After all, it is an adware application, and they cannot be trusted. In fact, it would be for the best to remove LowPrices from your system immediately because you can never know where these commercial pop-ups might lead you. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Where does LowPrices come from?

If it were a decent application, LowPrices would have an official website with a working download link. Alas, that is not the case. This program comes from an extensive adware family that is distributed via the InstallRex installer. In some cases (based on your IP and location) LowPrices might also arrive via the Amonetize and Vittalia installers as well. Just like other adware applications from the same family (including QuickShop, TicTacCoupon, and SaveNShop), LowPrices often make use of users’ cluelessness to enter target systems. For example, you should be very careful whenever you access torrent and other file-sharing websites. These pages are often full of fake download buttons, and clicking them could easily lead to adware installation.

What does LowPrices do?

Once LowPrices enters your computer, it modifies your browser settings by adding a new extension. Our research shows that LowPrices is compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. However, it should be noted that the newest Google Chrome versions block this extension, citing security reasons.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise because LowPrices could be highly intrusive when it comes to collecting information on the websites you visit. Although a lot of programs track your web browsing history, when it comes to adware applications, it should ring some alarm bells. After all, adware programs are not reliable, and there is no guarantee that LowPrices wouldn’t leak the information it has collected to corrupted third parties.

What’s more, cyber criminals could easily make use of this application to promote their own content, by embedding it into LowPrices ads. Once again, it gives you another reason to avoid clicking the pop-ups ads you see on your screen.

How do I remove LowPrices?

In fact, the sooner you remove LowPrices, the better. Fortunately, manual removal is not too complicated, and you can achieve that by uninstalling this application via Control Panel. On the other hand, there might be more unwanted programs on your system because adware applications cannot spread on their own.
