Findbestdeal is technically a browser add-on that can automatically be installed in Google, Firefox and Internet Explorer. The reason that Findbestdeal tries to embed itself in the most popular browsers is to display as many advertisements as possible. Findbestdeal actually generates money by displaying contextual ads called “Ads by Findbestdeal.” Findbestdeal is most commonly “delivered” alongside programs downloaded on the Internet for free.
In most cases, Findbestdeal advertisements are displayed when you visit commercial websites. Findbestdeal offers you fake discount vouchers and special offers on products that are similar to the subjects you search on the Internet since it bases its ads on your browsing history.
The offers that Findbestdeal ads propose redirect the computer user to strange online stores that are pretty different from well-known websites such as Amazon. It’s impossible to know for sure who the owners of these online stores are. If you buy products from these websites without thinking, you are exposing sensitive data and you run the risk of losing a lot of money… The authors of Findbestdeal also cash in on the ads displayed by their adware program, which directs users towards malicious websites that are usually overrun with Trojans and Rootkits.
Finally, your computer will suffer because of Findbestdeal. It will show you a ton of advertisements each day and over time, it will use up more and more of your system’s resources, getting slower and taking longer to load. Consequently, your browser will freeze on a regular basis.
