About eDealsPop

 EDealsPop is a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google  Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Even though it’s described as a useful application that will enhance your web browsing experience and help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by displaying various coupons, commercial deals and offers, this is not exactly true. It’s correct that this application displays offers, but they come in an annoying manner of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text or banner ads. A new window or a tab can be opened on your web browser as well. Those advertisements appear randomly, from time to time and offer you to purchase some particular goods or services at a very appealing price rate. However, you should not trust that – it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on those advertisements.  And you should not do that, because it would put you into an actual risk of getting infected or even scammed and losing your money.

eDealsPop works as a middle man between users and other websites that promote their products on this advertising network. And it’s not a secret that various cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers use advertising networks like this. That being said, if you click on one of those advertisements, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals and you don’t want to see that happening.

Another unwanted attribute of this adware is data collection. Once installed, it will gather your personal data, such as browsing history, search queries, top visited sites, your IP and email addresses or even your geographic location. This information will be used for marketing purposes. The thirs parties adjust their advertisements according to the collected information in order to make them even more relevant and attractive to you, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. And that’s the main goal of eDealsPop, because its creators get paid for every click you make. The adware is programmed to generate web traffic and collect sales leads.

Even though it’s not a dangerous virus that can cause a lot of damage itself, it can lead you to some more severe cyber security problems, therefore it needs to be removed as soon as possible. And it’s not difficult to indicate whether your computer is infected or not, usually those advertisements displayed by eDealsPop are labeled with a slogan “Ads by eDealsPop” or “Brought to you by eDealsPop”.

Distribution Methods of eDealsPop

Usually this malware is distributed bundled with other free software. You can also get infected by clicking on malicious links. That’s why you should be careful about what you are installing on your computer and which websites you are visiting. For instance, when you download and install a freebie from a website with a questionable reputation, there is a chance that eDealsPop will be installed alongside without you even being aware about that. So if you don’t want to get infected, you should not download software from unreliable sources. However, sometimes you just don’t have any other options. In this case, you should be very attentive during the installation.

Do not skip any steps (don’t just click “next” and “agree” buttons all the time without reading the whole information first) and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode. This will allow you to see all available options. Look for various checkboxes that can be already checked for you. If you see that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside – do not allow it, as it possibly can be eDealsPop or any other malware.

In case it is too late and your computer is already infected, remove eDealsPop right now. For manual removal instructions look below this article. You can also download a reliable anti-malware tool for effortless removal.
