Terrific Shopper is an adware extension whose installation may lead to the injection of a large number of the Terrific Shopper ads in your active Web browser window. These advertisements are not part of the advertising campaigns used by the pages you are browsing, and this means that they may often include irrelevant offers and promotions. Furthermore, the Terrific Shopper ads may end up covering certain sections of the page, therefore preventing you from browsing the Web as you are used to.

According to the official page of Terrific Shopper, this extension's purpose is to help avid online shoppers find the best online deals. The extension does this by providing them with price comparison charts, offers, special discounts, and other promotions that they might be interested in. Although the extension claims to provide users with relevant ads and offers, this is not entirely true, and users who opt to install Terrific Shopper may often end up seeing products, services, and other content that they are not interested in.

Despite that Terrific Shopper has an official download location, many users might end up with this application on their computers even if they don't remember downloading and installing it. This weird occurrence may happen because the Terrific Shopper browser extension may be found in software bundles, or come as a 3rd-party offer by low-quality download managers. Although the installation of Terrific Shopper is entirely optional, users might miss the step and accept the offer instinctively, and therefore agree to have the Terrific Shopper ads in their Web browser unknowingly.

It is clear that the Terrific Shopper ads are not something you want to see in your Web browser since they don't provide you with any valuable information, and may often prevent you from browsing some of the pages you regularly visit properly. The solution to the issue is rather straightforward – install and run a reputable anti-malware software suite that will scan your computer, and remove all traces of the Terrific Shopper software.
