PricePeep got on your computer after you have installed another program that had bundled in their installer the PricePeep adware.
You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this PricePeep. Be very careful what you agree to install. Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.
