If the text ads by Dealz appears in pop-ups, ads, or sponsored links while you surf the internet, it’s a sign that adware or an unwanted program has infected your computer.
These ads by Dealz are independent of the sites you visit; they’re directly generated by adware that’s stuck to your browser. Ads by Dealz is not technically considered a virus, but shares certain functions like systematic spying of your online actions and unauthorized modifications of settings on your PC. By using the program that hosts these ads, you consent to their postings and give the program permission to collect personal information, like your browsing history, search queries, e-mail, etc….
It’s possible to download Dealz on its official site. However, it’s most installed via free software found on the internet. There are different sites like Softonic, Soft32.com, and Brothersoft that offer these programs full of adware. You should be very attentive when installing free software, because if you don’t carefully examine the steps in the process of installation, you’ll find yourself with unwanted programs on your computer. Also, it’s worth noting that if you use P2P networks to download files, there’s a large chance that you’ve been infected by taking corrupt files. E-mails and spam from unknown senders with links to malicious sites with infected areas are also mean of acquiring this kind of adware.
Once infected, Deals can then post announcements or advertise banners on sites that you visit. Dealz can also post pop-ups, ads on text offering deals and coupons of a similar variety.
The main objective of Dealz is to make money by advertising products or services that often lead to questionable sites, and, at the same time, collecting personal information like your operating system, your browser preference, search queries, web history, IP address, geographic location, etc.
