Rocketsaler is a browser extension by WebPick, which is delivered via the InstallRex platform. Rocketsaler is designed to display various advertisements, banners and coupons as the user browses online shopping websites like Walmart, Ebay, etc. This may be considered useful by many, yet users should keep in mind that the promoted third party ads may redirect them to unsafe web locations and expose their system to security threats if clicked on.
Rocketsaler – Distribution
As a typical adware, Rocketsaler is distributed via bundled downloads of shareware and freeware. To prevent unwanted or unsafe installations on their computers, users should always select the Advanced options where they can see what additional programs and applications get installed along with the desired software and opt-out.
What Does Rocketsaler Do?

Additionally, Rocketsaler may collect information about the user’s browsing habits, search queries, IP address, etc. The gathered data may then be shared with third parties for advertising purposes.
