RealDeal - How to remove

RealDeal can be the answer to the question why you see various pop-up ads on your web browser. This program is listed as an adware, that means if it is installed on your computer you will see annoying ads when browsing the Internet. It is also listed as a PUP (potentially unwanted application) for several malicious actions that it performs. Even though the developers of this application state that it is a useful tool that will help you to save your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons and commercial offers, this is a false promise. Because RealDeal is an ad-supporter, all those offers come from the third parties and are fake. It is also not recommended to click on them. If you do so, you will be immediately redirected to the third party website that may be infected by cyber criminals and do harm to your computer. Those ads most of the time appear on e-commerce websites like Amazon or eBay and offer you to purchase some goods cheaper than a price on mentioned website.

RealDeal works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Besides being responsible for generating of ads, it also collects your personal information, such as search queries, browsing history and similar data, and transfers it to the third parties. They adjust their ads according to it and make them more attractive to you that way. RealDeal generates web traffic and collects sales leads. The owners of this application make money this way. If you have noticed that it is operating on your system, wait no more and take needed actions to remove it completely.

RealDeal is distributed as most of adware – bundled with other free software. I.e. when you download and install some tool from the Internet, it might bet that the RealDeal would be installed as well. That being said, if you don’t want this malicious application being installed on your computer, try to be as much careful during the installation of freebies as you can. Pay attention to the terms and conditions, opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. Do not skip any steps and read everything that is presented to you. This will ensure you are aware of what you are installing. In case it’s too late and your computer is already infected, you will need to scan it with a trustworthy anti-malware, such as Spyhunter or malwarebytes. It will detect and remove RealDeal automatically. To perform this manually, feel free to follow our step-by-step RealDeal removal guide below.
