Polarity.MyShoppingXP is an ad-supported program. As such, it makes proceeds for its creators by promoting third party websites. The covert program displays advertisements with embedded links to third party platforms. They come in various shapes and formats, like pop-ups, pop-unders, freebies, coupon boxes, in-text links, comparison, floating, interstitial, contextual, transitional and inline ads.

Our advice is to avoid unsolicited content.
