About TopDeal

TopDeal  works as a browser, add-on, that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. It is described as an 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, but in reality it’s not true. This add-on won’t save nor your time or money. All those coupons and deals by TopDeal are displayed in an annoying manner of web advertisements. They can come in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text and banner advertisements. A new window or tab can be opened on your web browser as well.

Usually those advertisements appear on e-commerce websites, such as Amazon or eBay and offers you to purchase some goods or services at a very appealing price rate. Even tho those offers looks really appealing, you should not fall for that because it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. You should not do that, because those advertisements usually are fake and if you click on them, you will be redirected to other malicious websites. This can result in your computer getting infected or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your money.

TopDeal works as an advertising network that is mostly used by various cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers. They use TopDeal to direct traffic to their websites. That being said, if you have TopDeal installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis.

Another unwanted attribute of TopDeal is data collection. Once installed, it will collect all sorts of data about you, such as your browsing history, search queries, Top visited sites or your IP address. This information will be used for marketing purposes – they will adjust those advertisements according to collected data and make them even more attractive and relevant to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of those advertisements rises. And that’s the main goal of TopDeal, because they get paid for every click you make on those advertisements.

Distribution Methods of TopDeal

TopDeal is distributed bundled with other free applications that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, when you download and install some free media player of PDF generator from a website that looks suspicious, there is a chance that TopDeal will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that. To avoid this happening, you should avoid downloading software from unreliable sources. However, if you really need some particular software and it can only be downloaded from unreliable website, be really careful during the installation of it. Always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode and do not skip any steps. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. If you see that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside, do not allow this to happen, because it can be TopDeal or any other malware.
