Remove Ads by PennyBee

Ads by PennyBee is a price-comparison tool, created to help user’s get the best possible deals and coupons while they are shopping online. The advertising-supported program displays various third party ads such as pop-ups, banners and pop-unders. PennyBee can be downloaded from its official site or may be distributed to the user’s PC through bundled download of free applications or other adware. The browser extension is hard to miss, because the advertisements it shows are labeled “Ads by PennyBee.” The tool may seem rather useful, but clicking on the provided third party links is something you do at your own risk. The company does not assume liability for the content, policies and possible threats the users might face, once they have opened the suggested links.

As an adware program, the presence of PennyBee on your computer is not recommended by PC security specialists. Despite the appealing features and services such applications provide, they are often used to redirect users to unsafe websites. The ads they show may be misleading, and there is no way to tell which of the provided links are actually reliable.

PennyBee – The Money-Saving Tool That Doesn’t Save You Trouble

In case you did not download PennyBee intentionally, but the tool is active on your browser, you have installed it on your PC bundled with other freeware. Paying attention to the installation steps of any program on your computer and carefully reading the Privacy Policies of the websites you download software from is crucial for the safety of your PC and personal data.

For instance, by installing PennyBee you should be aware of some data security-related details:

• PennyBee collects and stores individually identifiable information
• PennyBee shares and transfers information (personally and non-personally identifiable) to third parties, in order to improve or maintain the services the company provides
• PennyBee does not assume liability for the content and policies of the third parties

The following statement in the Privacy Policy published on the official website of PennyBee should also be taken into consideration:

“We do not collect any Personal Information from you or related to you without your approval, which is obtained, inter alia, through your active acceptance to the Terms and this Privacy Policy.”

Meaning that taking the time to read and un-check a few message boxes along the installation process might save you a lot of time and trouble later.
