About BestDealWiz adware
Even though it’s described as useful application that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various commercial offers, deals and coupons, this is not true. The problem is that all those offers come in an annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements.
If you click on one of those advertisements, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.
That’s because BestDealWiz works as advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep BestDealWiz installed on your computer, various cyber criminals like hackers and scammers can possibly reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.
Distribution Methods of BestDealWiz adware
As most of other adware of this type, BestDealWiz is traveling bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. So when you download and install some PDF generator or media player, there is a chance that BestDealWiz will be downloaded and installed alongside without you even being aware of that. That’s why you should always be ver attentive during the installation of freeware.
Never skip any steps and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This way you will be able to see all available options and make needed changes. Don’t rush because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that. If during the installation you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside – don’t allow this installation to be completed because it can possibly be BestDealWiz or any other adware that you don’t want to see installed on your computer.
