CutThePrice is the name of an adware also being considered as an unwanted program because it doesn’t make it clear for the user the huge amount of ads it will show once it’s installed.
Ads shown by CutThePrice can be seen literally everywhere, from the direct content of every visited website (taking the form of pop-ups, banners, underlined words…) to new tabs and windows being opened without warning nor motive for that matter, although sometimes they are opened just because you click something somewhere in your screen. These ads are usually seen tagged as Ads by CutThePrice or Powered by CutThePrice.
If you’ve been infected by CutThePrice nothing you do is a secret now for its authors, because it was developed in such a way that it’s easy for them to save sensible data about yourself such as your OS version, information about your browser, the websites you visit, which keyword you use in web searches, your IP address, your geographical setting, among others that help the task of identify you personally.
To avoid this kind of problem in the future, always make sure to customize any setup program started in your PC, specially those of free software. By doing this you’ll be able to deselect any optional features selected by default.
We can easily find some sort of official website for CutThePrice, however the adware is not available for download there, it only works as a way to publish their legal terms.
