AlphaShoppers Removal Guide

If you install AlphaShoppers, also known as Alpha Shoppers, you might face certain security issues. After researching this suspicious extension, it has become clear that it is just another marketing tool, but there is more to it. Apparently, it is capable of recording personal information, and you have to be extra cautious about that. After all, you do not want information about you collected and shared with unknown parties. As the Privacy Policy states, this kind of information could be recorded when you interact with the services of the PUP (potentially unwanted program), which might include subscribing to newsletters and placing orders. It is also stated that data could be recorded when you interact with surveys. Were you informed about any surveys when installing this application? If you were not, are you happy about the possibility of being introduced to potentially intrusive surveys? You definitely should delete AlphaShoppers if you want to avoid these surveys, as well as suspicious advertisements.

AlphaShoppers is almost identical to Torpedo Deals, and it is similar to Chipopo, Sadooma, and other potentially unwanted programs. The PUP we are discussing is currently spread in Israel, but it might be located in different regions in the future. According to our research, this suspicious software can be spread by third-party distributors, and their intentions might be malicious. It is possible that the allegedly reliable shopping assistant could be used to conceal more unreliable pieces of software. Of course, considering that the PUP is not popular, it is possible that it will come bundled with more attractive apps. In either case, malware could come packaged along with Alpha Shoppers, and so you have to inspect your operating system as soon as you discover this suspicious application. Although you might be able to identify malware and other potentially unwanted programs yourself, we suggest relying on legitimate anti-malware software because it is designed to scan every file found on your operating system.

Although AlphaShoppers might come bundled with malware, it is also represented at alphashoppers.co. If you access this website via Firefox or Internet Explorer, you will be informed that you need to install Google Chrome to use the extension because that is the only browser it is compatible with. Once you install it, your New Tab page is taken over by Shopping New Page that displays a search dialog box, a list of links to online shopping sites, as well as coupons. The links promoted via the interface are legitimate, but we do not recommend trusting the search tool because it redirects to api-client.mobitech-search.xyz, and sponsored search results could be shown instead of what you are looking for. Is it dangerous to interact with sponsored links? That depends on the parties introducing these links to you, but, unfortunately, this is a security backdoor that could be exploited by malicious parties to put you in danger. Due to this, we strongly encourage all users to consider the removal of AlphaShoppers.

If you make the decision to remove AlphaShoppers from your operating system, you need to decide if you should install anti-malware software for automatic removal or if you should go ahead with manual removal. In fact, it is extremely easy to delete the extension from your Google Chrome browser, and so you do not actually need to choose between the two options. It all comes down to other threats. If your operating system is corrupted by malware, of course, you should rely on anti-malware software. If you are only dealing with the extension, go ahead and follow the guide below. Needless to say, anti-malware software is also very important for further system’s protection, and so we advise installing it even if you manage to clean your entire operating system just by using these instructions.
