About Price Metér?

The Price Meter software is designed to display advertising content such as coupons, discounts, and comparative prices within the user’s Internet browser through the use of an extension or add-on. The ads take the form of search-related, banner, and video ads, as well as text-links and occasional pop-up or pop-under ads. These ads are typically placed in the header or footer of web pages. Additionally, the software can convert words on web pages into hyperlinks linked to advertisements. It is important to note that Price Meter is classified as adware and/or a potentially unwanted program (PUP) due to its behavior.
