Hello there. As usual I was looking around on the Internet to see what is being bundled with some software downloads. This time I found something called PriceHorse<\/strong>. If you have PriceHorse on your system, you will see a new process called pricehorse.exe<\/strong>, signed by PayByAds ltd<\/strong>., running in the Windows Task Manager and 2 new scheduled tasks. You can also see ads labeled “Ads by Price-Horse”. I\u2019ll show how to remove PriceHorse in this blog post with the FreeFixer removal tool.<\/p>\n

\"Ads<\/a><\/p>\n

\"pricehorse.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a screenshot from the www.price-horse.com web site which shows how the PriceHorse ads look like:<\/p>\n

\"pricehorse<\/a>PriceHorse is bundled<\/strong> with a number of downloads. Bundling means that software is included in other software’s installers. When I first found PriceHorse, it was bundled with a download named Free Download Manager<\/strong>. Here\u2019s how it appeared in the Free Download Manager installer where I found it:<\/p>\n

\"pricehorse<\/a><\/p>\n

The EULA refers to the software as Price-Horse<\/strong> instead of PriceHorse. The EULA also mention a company called First Offerz Ltd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as PriceHorse by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.<\/p>\n

As usual when I stumble upon some new bundled software I uploaded it to VirusTotal to check if the antiviruses there detect something fishy. The PriceHorse.exe file is detected as PayByAds<\/strong> and Montiera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"PriceHorse.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

Removing PriceHorse<\/strong> is pretty easy with FreeFixer<\/a>. Just select the PriceHorse files for removal and then click the Fix button and the problem will be solved.<\/p>\n

\"pricehorse.exe<\/a> \"pricehorse.exe<\/a> \"pricehorse<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope this helped you solved the PriceHorse ad problem.<\/p>\n
