Product Promoter is another adware application that installs a browser plugin or add-on. As the name suggests, Product Promoter is created to enhance your online shopping by promoting products at competitive prices. Users may be misled by its low-end functionality and knowingly download Product Promoter or may unknowingly due to it being bundled with another free program. Either way, Product Promoter may cause you more headaches than it's worth. As any other adware application, Product Promoter may collect information about your online habits and sites that you visit and later use it as a marketing strategy. Additionally, Product Promoter might flood your browser with irritating ads that only redirect you to unwanted locations.
