About HelpDeal adware

Even though HelpDeal is described as useful and free tool 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. HelpDeal is officially listed as an adware so if your computer is infected with this malware, you will see various advertisements on all of your web browsers while browsing the internet. 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 at any time as well.

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

We don’t recommend to click on any of those advertisements displayed by HelpDeal even if they look very attractive. If you click on one of them, 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 this way.

Distribution Methods of HelpDeal adware

HelpDeal is traveling the same way as most of other adware of this type – bundled with various free applications that can be downloaded from unreliable website.

In order to avoid this happening, download software only from trusted sources and always keep your computer secured with reliable anti-malware application.
