Enhanced Shopping Assistant: a mind reader or just clever software?
Let's say you're seeing "Ads by Enhanced Shopping Assistant" adverts for the new smart watch all of a sudden. Have you recently been looking at the watch on a retailer's website? Maybe you've been looking at cheap flights for a last minute getaway to San Francisco – and what do you know, now you're seeing ads for budget airlines, flights to the West Coast and hotels in that very location. This is what adware does: it installs a component on your PC which is designed to monitor the websites that you visit and make a note of which products or services you are looking at on that site. The Enhanced Shopping Assistant adware is then able to show you adverts that are related to your search – thus increasing the chances of you clicking on them.
Surely that's not a bad thing?
While seeing adverts and pop-ups for products that you may be considering buying might not be the worst thing to happen, after all, you can just ignore them if you're not ready to part with your cash, the fact is that somebody is spying on you. Just because you're not looking at anything illegal or shady, doesn't mean that you should have to surrender your online privacy in such a fashion.
However it's a thin line because a lot of people can forgive adware for its nosiness because without it we wouldn't have access to as many free apps or files as we currently do. That's because, as mentioned earlier, the adware is way of generating revenue for its programmer who packages it with apps or other software that they give away for free. The adware is used as a way to recoup some of the costs of developing their freebie - and often for making a tidy profit too.
The problem is when it turns nasty it can really cause you some issues - pop-up and pop-under windows that refuse to go away are just one of the annoyances. In addition to this, the component that tracks your internet usage will also slow your operating system right down. Needless to say, it can make your web browser unusable. The answer? Install a good anti-malware program on your PC and avoid the nuisance altogether.
