What is Up Pro?

We are sure that no one would reject a possibility to save money, and that is exactly what Up Pro promises. This browser extension supposedly can find better deals for the products you are interested in whenever you are shopping online. Let’s say you are browsing bestbuy.com, and a deal appears listing the same product you are looking at with lower prices. Will you ignore this deal or click it? It is more likely that you will check the deal, but that does not necessarily mean that you will be provided with the best one online. You are likely to be provided with deals offered by the associates or partners of SHOPMANIA NET SRL (the creator of the program), but that does not mean that they will be the best. This is one reason to delete Up Pro. test test test

How does Up Pro work?

You might think that the intentions of Up Pro are good, but that is not necessarily the case. This program is, first and foremost, and advertising tool, and it was created to promote other parties and earn money. SHOPMANIA NET SRL provides a platform that third parties can use to promote their products, and they are likely to pay a commission. Although this is not illegal, you have to consider that unreliable offers could be introduced to you just so that more money could be made. Of course, this is just one of the possible outcomes, and we cannot predict whether or not you will be exposed to unreliable deals. Nonetheless, you should keep this is mind if you do not want to be scammed. If you must use this tool, why not install a security tool that will monitor the activity of this suspicious adware?

Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers identify Up Pro as adware (advertisement-supported program) because it shows ads, even if they are introduced as shopping deals. It was found that this adware is compatible with all popular browsers, including Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Firefox. The funny thing is that, officially, it is only compatible with Google Chrome, and the link on geticommerce.com/us/install only provides an installer for Chrome. If you have found Up Pro on other browsers, it must have been installed by third-party installers along with other questionable programs! If you suspect malware to have slithered in, immediately run a malware scanner to examine your operating system.

Up Pro might be presented as a professional shopping helper, but it is most likely that it is just another advertising tool that was developed to promote some useless or unreliable service.

As mentioned before, it is wise to install a security tool if you choose to keep this adware running; of course, if you will not be bothered by the constant reminders that adware requires removal. Of course, the best thing you can do is remove Up Pro, and the guide below will help you get rid of it.
