About DealMine adware

Even though it’s described as useful and free application that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various deals, coupons and commercial offers, this is not true. Once installed it will display various advertisements on all of your web browsers. Those ads can be displayed in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window can be opened on your web browser as well. We don’t recommend to click on those ads displayed by DealMine because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as scammers or hackers. 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.

DealMine 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 DealMine installed on your computer, various cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.

Distribution Methods of DealMine adware

DealMine is traveling bundled with other free application that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, when you download some PDF generator or media player from unreliable website, there is a chance that DealMine will be downloaded alongside. That’s why you should always pay close attention to the installation process 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. 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 DealMine or any other malware that you don’t want to see installed on your computer.
