What is ShopAtHome?
ShopAtHome is a browser plugin that is compatible with such popular web browsers as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. The application promotes the services presented at shopathome.com; however, this website does not offer an installer. According to our Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers, users may be offered to install ShopAtHome extensions when installing different applications. We believe that in most cases you will be able to refuse the installer of the suspicious program, which is why most users who install the program do not identify it as malicious. Nonetheless, there is a reason why you should remove ShopAtHome from your operating system. In fact, you may have to delete the program for security purposes.

How does ShopAtHome work?
When installing ShopAtHome software, you may be asked to change the home page as well as the default search provider on your browsers. This is not what we recommend, because you do not need to face shopathome.com every time that you launch your browser. In fact, it is unlikely that you will need to worry about the removal of ShopAtHome search tools, because they do not get installed, even if you choose to acquire them. All in all, you should be careful about the website supported by the Belcaro Group Inc., because it presents the links to third-party websites. The site runs tracking cookies to learn more about you, and if this disturbs you, you should delete ShopAtHome-related web cookies right away. The tracking cookies could be used to present supposedly more useful offers, and this is what you should expect, considering that the program is meant to find useful coupons.
Once ShopAtHome is installed, the program will show the “Browser App ribbon” and will alert you about the available deals. The displayed commercial advertisements and suspicious pop-ups may be misleading, which is why we do not recommend clicking on them, even if you find them to be attractive. Since the ads may be unreliable, there is no reason why you should not delete ShopAtHome from your operating system. Either choose the manual removal option or install automatic malware removal software.
