Where does Shoppi come from?

Unfortunately, this application does not have an official homepage. This means that you cannot download Shoppi directly. Consequently, we can tell that this application gets distributed bundled with freeware and other unwanted software.

Our research shows that Shoppi is based on the JustPlugIt engine, and it is distributed mainly through the InstallRex installer, although, in some cases, the application may also come with Vittalia and Amonetize installers. With this, we can see that Shoppi is very similar to Gosavy, SlimPrice, BestDiscountApp, and many other applications from the same group.

The point is that you should avoid downloading programs from third-party sources because there is no way to guarantee that you will install reliable applications. Before you know it, the likes of Shoppi might pop up on your screen, offering you to click random ads.

What does Shoppi do?

As you can obviously tell, Shoppi generates commercial pop-ups whenever you access online shopping sites (Amazon, eBay, BestBuy, and so on). These pop-ups will contain links to third-party sites that are supposed to help you purchase something at a lower price.

However, there is no way to know whether the sites Shoppi ads lead you to are safe or not. The adware application does not review the ad content because it is not concerned with it. All programs from this group explicitly claim that they are not responsible for the security of third-party content. Therefore, if you click an ad and it redirects you to dangerous websites, you would have no one else but yourself to blame.

Please do not click Shoppi ads. On the other hand, ignoring them won’t solve the problem too. You have to remove Shoppi to make sure that you stay out of trouble.

How do I remove Shoppi?

It is not hard to terminate Shoppi manually. You need to uninstall the application via Control Panel. After that, delete the extension from your browser because the manual removal via Control Panel works on Internet Explorer only.

Eventually, invest in a licensed antispyware tool that will help you run a full system scan. It is necessary in order to ensure that your computer is absolutely safe.
