FabulousPrice is adware that may display unwanted pop-up advertisements, discount coupons, offers and deals when computer users are shopping online on shopping related websites or visiting other websites. FabulousPrice may install itself on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome without a PC user's approval. FabulousPrice may be usually delivered through packaged free applications that computer users can download from questionable download websites on the Internet. When the PC user decides to install a free program, it may have extra toolbars, browser extensions, add-ons or plug-ins embedded in the installation wizard. These additional programs, particularly FabulousPrice, may be marked as optional tools, but if the PC user does not take a check box off for including them, he may end up with undesired system changes on the PC. FabulousPrice may trace the computer user's surfing habits and transmit gathered browsing details for targeted advertising purposes.
