About DealGrabbers adware

DealGrabbers works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or even Safari. That means Apple users can get infected as well.

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 coupons, deals and commercial offers, this is not true. The problem is that all those offers come in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual or banner advertisements. Usually those advertisements appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon and offers you to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Don’t fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, it’s just a wise trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. If you do so, 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 DealGrabbers 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 DealGrabbers installed on your computer, cyber criminals like hackers or scammers will be able to reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.
