DealHut is a Google Chrome extension that claims to display the best and the hottest deals for you while you are shopping online, but our malware specialists say that you need to be careful with this extension. As a matter of fact, this application has been classified as an adware program. As such, you cannot trust the third-party ads and deals it shows you. Most probably, this adware simply advertises affiliated websites, online shops to generate traffic to those sites. Therefore, you cannot really know if the displayed offer is the best one on the web or a simple trick to make you click on it. It is also possible that this unreliable application finds its way to your computer in a bundle that may be packed with other malware infections. Therefore, its presence may be an indication of multiple threats. We recommend that you remove DealHut before you find yourself on a questionable website that may cause more trouble for your system than you could handle manually. Read more »

We know that it might seem that EDealMan is a useful program because it says that it can help users to save some money. It has been observed that it promises to do that by providing users with the latest deals and offers. They will be delivered straight to your browser, which means that you will see advertisements every time you surf the web. Luckily, EDealMan is compatible with Google Chrome only. It means that you will see ads on the websites only if you open them with this browser. We believe that it shows ads simply because the owner of EDealMan gets money for that, so it would be really naive to think that it displays them to help you save money. Do not keep this useless program on the system. You have to get rid of it as soon as possible also if you want to protect your system from harm. As has been observed, EDealMan might expose you to potential threats. Read more »
