What is Maxi Buy?
Maxi Buy is presented as a beneficial browser extension that can help to save some time and money by finding and displaying where a particular product a user is viewing can be purchased for a lower price. It seems that users believe that this piece of software can be useful – a number of users have already installed it on their computers. To be more specific, there were 9,918 users in total who had this extension installed at the time of writing. Maxi Buy is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari (but only Google Chrome version was working properly at the time of research), which clearly shows that the developer of this application targets a wide range of users. Some users consciously install Maxi Buy on their PCs from its official website, or, in the case of Google Chrome users, directly from the Chrome Web Store, but it does not mean that it cannot enter computers illegally. As research carried out by specialists working at anti-spyware-101.com has shown, this piece of software might also come bundled, which explains why it has been categorized as a potentially unwanted application by researchers. The application might seem to be really useful, but you should definitely not keep it installed if you have not installed it yourself.
What does Maxi Buy do?
As mentioned, Maxi Buy promises to help users find a cheaper item online. How does it work? When a user opens a specific product at an online store, the application starts searching for an identical item on the web. If the cheaper product is found at another online store, the user is immediately notified about its availability. It might also show various recommendations and similar products. Some users find all these pop-ups extremely irritating. If you are one of them, you can remove Maxi Buy from your computer today and thus put an end to all activities it performs on your computer. The application is not responsible for the reliability of online stores cheaper items can be found at, so be cautious if you decide to make a buy.
As mentioned, a number of users find all those pop-ups they see extremely irritating, but it is not the only reason we suggest getting rid of Maxi Buy. This potentially unwanted application will automatically collect some information from your computer if you keep it. As has been noticed during the analysis, it records such details as a browser type and version, the URL of the website visited, characteristics of the product displayed on the screen, product-related keywords, and other technical information. The good news is that it promises not to record any personally-identifiable information.
