PriceCongress ads and Hot Deals

This particular adware is capable of tracking your browsing habits. In other words, it is able to memorize what you’ve been looking for in the past. Based on such memories it will deliver you its ads, which might even be relevant to your previous or present search queries. Most often such ads are brought when you move the PC mouse close to some images showing you various items you’ve been looking for, or which are displayed at the web page you’re now on. When you move the computer mouse to such images displaying various commodities on those websites, you will see a special “Compare” button to pop up. If there are some matches between the legitimate website and the items offered by this PriceCongress adware, you will see “Loading” button to come up. Afterwards you will see a special pop-up window to come up and display such PriceCongress ads in front of you. In case there aren’t any matches, you will see “No Deals” button to pop up instead.

Please be not deceived by this PriceCongress adware and the services it offers. It doesn’t really represent any value for you. Indeed, some of its ads are relevant to your search queries. But guess what is the main and the only purpose of this adware? The truth is that it only has in mind to earn money for its owners, developers and those who stand behind its distribution. This adware doesn’t really want to help you save more funds with its pop-ups, Hot Deals and ads. You will not be able to save any single penny through buying anything displayed by means of such ads. So, there’s no point at all for you to keep it inside of your computer.
