What is Indiashopps?
Indiashopps is a questionable application that could be most useful for Indian computer users; however, our malware specialists at anti-spyware-101.com say that it could be a mistake to keep this tool. Although it is possible to install this Google Chrome browser extension intentionally, it is more likely that you install it in questionable ways. This potential threat source has been categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) but you should not take it too lightly. This PUP may annoy you with a bunch of pop-up ads and coupons that may not even work. There is no guarantee that all the price comparisons are legitimate either. Such applications are often exploited by cyber criminals to send unreliable third-party content to your screen. Since this PUP can show up on your computer with a company of malware infections, we suggest that you remove Indiashopps and all other related threats as well.
Where does Indiashopps come from?
As we have mentioned, it is possible to install this questionable tool directly via the Chrome web store, chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/indiashopps/pgoackgjjkpbkjoomkklkofbhpkbeboc. This page reveals that over 12 thousand users have already installed it. Strangely enough, we have found that you cannot download this application from its official page, indiashopps.com, but you can download the mobile app instead. Another questionable thing about this website is that you cannot find any legal documents that could give you some sort of guarantee; no EULA and no Privacy Policy either. This means that you have no idea what kind of information this PUP may collect about you or who it would share it with, among other issues. Normally, this would be enough for security-minded users to delete Indiashopps, but let us tell you more.
This PUP becomes more of a threat when it sneaks onto your system in a free software bundle. You should avoid infecting your computer with such a package because it can contain several different threats, including PUPs and malware infections (adware programs, browser hijackers, Trojans, and more). You may be the type of user who likes to install free programs from time to time. Yet, you may not be familiar with the shady file-sharing sites of which there are plenty. This is how you may end up on suspicious torrent or freeware pages after a web search. However, when you download programs from questionable sources, it is quite possible that you download a whole bundle instead of a standalone file. It is also possible though that you click on a third-party advertisement and that is how you drop a bundle. This can also happen on shady file-sharing, online gambling, gaming, and porn pages. These are generally the websites that mostly host questionable third-party ads and content that you would not even recognize as an ad, such as fake banner or pop-up notifications and buttons. If you want to make sure that you are using a safe computer, we suggest that you delete Indiashopps and scan your system with a trustworthy malware scanner to find all other threats as well.
How does Indiashopps work?
This PUP is a “One stop Solution for all your Shopping needs” as it promotes itself. In fact, this tool offers you best deals and coupons that may not even always work. This application is mainly made for the Indian market and it is supposed to calculate best deals based on the prices in several Indian online stores. These pop-ups can be very annoying. However, since there are no legal documents, we can assume that it is possible that not all the deals can be trusted. It is also likely that you will experience third-party ads that could be unreliable. Clicking on unsafe content could cause further infections and you might also end up on malicious pages. This is why we believe that you should not hesitate to remove Indiashopps from your browser.
