How to Remove Amazon Shopping Assistant by Spigot

Amazon Shopping Assistant by Spigot is an unwanted program and browser extension that displays pop-up advertisements and changes settings.

Amazon Shopping Assistant is recognized as a potentially unwanted program and browser extension compatible with Google Chrome and other internet browsers. Once the Amazon Shopping Assistant extension is installed it will read and change all your data on the websites you visit, change your search settings to a website of its choice, and change your search settings. This will cause the homepage, new tab page, and default search engine to be replaced with another website.

A big concern with Amazon Shopping Assistant is that it is advertised alongside potentially unwanted programs, malware, and potentially malicious trace files that can remain hidden on a computer system. If a victim did not install Amazon Shopping Assistant but find it installed on their browser it is likely that the threat was installed alongside additional threats.
