ShoppingDay

Posted: March 16, 2018

ShoppingDay is a browser add-on meant to enhance the user's ability to find great deals online, but the truth about this add-on is that it is nothing more than a nagging utility, which will modify the Google Chrome's settings to promote a particular Web page. In this case, the extension attempts to bring traffic to Feed.shopping-day.com and, to do this, it will replace Google Chrome's default search aggregator with this page. While this change is certainly not unsafe, users might not be happy to know that all of their search queries will be taken to Feed.shopping-day.com instead of to their favorite search engine.

Another issue that this change might cause is that although ShoppingDay's search engine works at the moment reliably, there's no guarantee that its state will not change in the near future. Generally, it is recommended to stay away from 3rd-party browser extensions whose sole purpose seem to be to tamper with the web browser's configuration.

If you have installed ShoppingDay and you are not satisfied with what it has to offer, then we suggest that you take the required steps to uninstall it from your computer. Since this add-on is classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), you should be able to complete its removal with the assistance of a trustworthy PC security software suite.
