About Shopping Deals adware
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 coupons and deals come in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened at any time as well.
Advertisements displayed by Shopping Deals usually appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. Don’t fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements this way. And we don’t recommend to do that, because this way your computer can get infected with other viruses or you can even get scammed and lose your money.
Distribution Methods of Shopping Deals adware
Shopping Deals is traveling the same way as most of other adware of this type – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. I.e. when you download some media player or PDF generator, there is a chance that Shopping Deals will be downloaded and installed alongside. To avoid this happening try not to download software from questionable sources and always keep your computer secured with trustworthy anti-malware application.
