Distribution

This is not a virus or a trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program." It is a comparative product analysis shopping tool which is supported by makers of Hotbar. 

For showing marketing related results, the application hijacks the search keywords typed in the browser and send them to its own servers. The results are displayed in a side pane of the browser (please refer to screenshot image below). It also sends domains that are mistyped in the address bar to its servers.

The main installer drops a DLL file generally in the folder "c:\program files\shopperreports\bin\(some version number)". This file is responsible for all the hijacking. The DLL file can either be installed on its own or can be installed by an executable. There are different versions of such installers present. The installer generally comes bundled with Hotbar components but can be used alone as well, to install shopper reports. No user interface is presented during installation of the adware shopprreports (if installed separately ). 

The full text of the license agreement can be accessed on the author's website "http://hotbar.com/Legal/hotbar/license.htm "

Privacy

The full text of the policy can be accessed on the author's website "http://hotbar.com/Legal/hotbar/privacy.htm "

The software transmits mistyped URLs and/or search keyword data to its own servers. Based on system IP the application also identifies city, area code, pin, latitude and longitude information of the user.

All Information

Overview -

Characteristics

Characteristics -

McAfee(R) AVERT recognizes that this program may have legitimate uses in contexts where an authorized administrator has knowingly installed this application. If you agreed to a license agreement for this, or another bundled application, you may have legal obligations with regard to removing this software, or using the host application without this software. Please contact the software vendor for further information.

See http://vil.nai.com/vil/DATReadme.asp for a list of Program detections added to the DATs.

See http://vil.nai.com/vil/pups/configuration.htm for information about how to enable, disable, and exclude detection of legitimately installed programs.

Distribution

This is not a virus or a trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program." It is a comparative product analysis shopping tool which is supported by makers of Hotbar. 

For showing marketing related results, the application hijacks the search keywords typed in the browser and send them to its own servers. The results are displayed in a side pane of the browser (please refer to screenshot image below). It also sends domains that are mistyped in the address bar to its servers.

The main installer drops a DLL file generally in the folder "c:\program files\shopperreports\bin\(some version number)". This file is responsible for all the hijacking. The DLL file can either be installed on its own or can be installed by an executable. There are different versions of such installers present. The installer generally comes bundled with Hotbar components but can be used alone as well, to install shopper reports. No user interface is presented during installation of the adware shopprreports (if installed separately ). 

The full text of the license agreement can be accessed on the author's website "http://hotbar.com/Legal/hotbar/license.htm "

Privacy

The full text of the policy can be accessed on the author's website "http://hotbar.com/Legal/hotbar/privacy.htm "

The software transmits mistyped URLs and/or search keyword data to its own servers. Based on system IP the application also identifies city, area code, pin, latitude and longitude information of the user.
