What is LionShopper?
LionShopper is also known as Lion Shopper or the LionShopper virus. This potentially unwanted program (PUP) collects internet browser data and uses the data to victimize internet users by bombarding them with unwanted targeted advertisements and promotional offers through other means of communications.
Once installed, potential LionShopper malware will use associated browser attachments (if present) that have permissions set allowing them to gather user information, such as all activities, bookmarks, and history. Associated attachments may also have permissions to change existing settings, such as homepages, browser shortcuts, and an internet browser’s default, managed, and provided search engine.
