    trying to find software


    Hi, I run IE 11 on windows 7.A few months ago I was searching ebay for the cheapest price offered for a particular item..As I hit upon this item a banner appeared across the laptop screen telling me where I could buy this item cheaper. This must have accompanied a program I was downloading. I didnt like to program; whatever it was so uninstalled it. The price comparison software went with it. I cant now remember what I had downloaded so wondered whether anyone has come across this comparison download and if so the name of it. Many thanks jack

    Hello the first thing I would do would run a full scan with what ever security you have I would also run a full scan using malwarebytes. Here is there link.

    I'm not sure I'm responding to the right question here, but Firefox has an add-on called PriceBlink which offers competitive prices when you select an item for online purchase. A Google search for Price Blink shows it can be downloaded for IE as well. Is this what you are looking for?

    I'm glad you checked. It's always smart to research a bit before installing an unfamiliar program!
