ShoppingDay

What is ShoppingDay?

ShoppingDay is a new ad-supported program from Israel that may annoy you with its coupons. According to our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com, this Google Chrome browser extension may not be as beneficial as it claims, though. This adware is supposed to show you best sales and deals, and provide you coupons for all the big brands; however, these may not always be reliable just like its search tool, which may show you modified search results. This tool is set as your new tab page, so every time you want to open a new tab, you will be exposed to this search tool and certain coupons. Since this extension can collect information about you, it is possible that after some time you would start seeing relevant coupons, ones that may actually be of interest to you. However, do not get your hopes high because these can also be used by cyber crooks to get to you and lure you to their malicious pages. We believe that it is best for you to remove ShoppingDay from your computer as soon as possible. Let us tell you in more detail why we think so.test

Where does ShoppingDay come from?

You can find the main site at home.shopping-day.com, which is set as your new tab when you install the browser extension. However, you cannot find this tool available for download there. It used to have a Chrome web store page, chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/shoppingday/kgeeboicnmjfeodkcfdoejpdhgdpajdg, but all you find there now is a 404 page not found error. This obviously means that Google has already find out about the questionable reliability of this adware and simply blocked it and removed it. Now, this is probably not a good sign and if you have this extension in your browser, this may be a good time to delete it.

Of course, it is also possible that you will find this adware spreading via alternative channels like bundling. The problem with this is that bundles can often contain all kinds of potentially unwanted programs and malware infections, including adware programs, Trojans, ransomware programs, browser hijackers, fake alerts, and more. You can drop such a bundle onto your PC when you try to download a program from an unfamiliar torrent site, you click on an unsafe third-party ad or a fake button on a suspicious website, or when your computer is already infected with adware. As you can see it is quite easy to infect your system with all kinds of threats in one go if you are not vigilant enough. One wrong click and your computer could be swarming with infections. This is why it is essential that after you manage to delete ShoppingDay as an adware, you scan your PC with a proper online malware scanner to be able to eliminate all other threats, too.

How does ShoppingDay work?

This tool is supposed to be a search webpage that offers you coupons for major brands and sites, such as AliExpress, Debenhams, Austad's Golf, Adams Golf, and Sky. We have found though that these coupons may not always be trusted. As this search page is set to be your new tab, you would be presented with questionable content every time you open a new tab, of course. Another possible source of threat is the search tool itself, as it forwards all your queries to its own web server first, feed.shopping-day.com, and only then to Yahoo. This may result in modified search results containing questionable third-party ads and other sponsored content. Since this adware may collect information about your browsing habits, it could present to you relevant ads, which could be potentially risky to click on. If you need best sales tips and coupons, we suggest that you find a more reliable and reputable way to get them instead of using such a questionable tool. Hopefully, you see now why we recommend that you remove ShoppingDay from your Google Chrome browser.

How can I remove ShoppingDay?

The best thing about this tool is definitely the ease of removal. All you need to do is get rid of this annoying extension through the Extension Manager of your Chrome browser. If you have never done this before, please use our instructions below. It should not take more than a minute even if you are not an experienced user. But do not forget about the possibility that there could be other threats on your system hiding. If you want to use a secure computer, we believe that it is important that you invest in a powerful up-to-date anti-malware program like SpyHunter to automatically defend your PC against all known malicious and potential threats.
