Smart Ones

Smart Ones is a free browser add-on for online shoppers who want to quickly access the best online offers and deals. The program is advertised at smartonestheword.com, which features no installer, which means that the program is available on some different websites. Hence, it is essential to be careful with any freeware program because the installer of the program may offer additional, mainly optional, programs. If you do not know the characteristics of the program and the way it works, do not install it in order to prevent adverse consequences related to your privacy and security. Smart Ones displays third-party advertisements none of which is reviewed and endorsed by Smart Ones. As a result, our researchers have categorized Smart Ones as adware, and we recommend that you remove this program from the computer.

Smart Ones is based on the JustPlugIt platform, which was used to create programs such as Cheap Coupon, LionSales, SaleMaker, and many other programs displaying third-party advertisements. The majority of the programs based on JustPlugIt have their official websites that seem to be aimed at convincing the user that the program is reliable and safe to use.

Smart Ones shows pop-up advertisements, web banners, and other advertisements on multiple websites, mainly shopping websites such as walmart.com, ebay.com, bestbuy.com, and many other websites. Some of the advertisements displayed feature the label ‘Powered by Smart Ones’, and you may also find pop-ups labeled ‘Powered by RightCoupon’. Note that RightCoupon is another advertising-supported browser add-on based on the JustPlugit platform.

Similarly to other adware programs, Smart Ones records certain information that could be used to determine your preferences and browsing behavior. Smart Ones, as well as associated third-parties, uses some tracking techniques to record your IP address, search queries, browsing history, clicks, and some other non-personally identifiable information. You should also bear in mind that every website you access through Smart Ones pop-ups and web banners has some privacy policy and terms of use which are not associated with Smart Ones. As a result, you interact with those programs at your own risk, which is why we recommend that you remove Smart Ones from the computer as soon as you can.
