What is Dealicious?

Dealicious is an adware application that can cause a lot of computer security-related problems if you allow it to remain on your system. It is not a malicious computer security threat, because users can install Dealicious on their systems willingly, but the application is too vulnerable to keep, so you should delete it as soon as possible. We provide manual removal instructions for the application below this description so you can uninstall the program on your own. Take note that you can apply the same instructions to most of the adware applications that are present on your computer. test test test Download Removal Tool100% FREE spyware scan and

Where does Dealicious come from?

We are sure that you have several adware applications on-board because, most of the time, Dealicious gets distributed in software packages. This program comes from a new family of adware applications called "ShopMania." Dealicious is a direct clone of PriceExpert, ShopzyApp, Shop Scounter, and many other applications from the same family. Hence, the application behaves just like its predecessors, and we can firmly say that, rather than being distributed via its official website at getdealicious.com, the application spreads with Multiplug adware, SuperWeb adware, PC Optimizer Pro, the MindSpark toolbars, and a number of other potentially unreliable applications. This essentially means two things: One, users install Dealicious on their own, and, two, users install multiple unwanted applications at the same time. Hence, the note in the first paragraph about the manual removal instructions being applicable to almost all adware programs out there.

What does Dealicious do?

Dealicious is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. The application adds an extension to your default browser once it gets installed on your PC. Depending on who makes use of this adware program, Dealicious can be exploited to collect information about your shopping and Internet browsing habits. As a result, the application starts showing coupon offers and pop-ups when you access eBay, Amazon, BestBuy, and other popular online stores.

It would not be much of a problem if the Dealicious ads were reliable, but there is no way to ensure that the links embedded in those advertisements are safe. Not only does Dealicious clutter your web browser with annoying notifications, successfully slowing it down, but the application might also be the first step towards a malicious infection, and you most definitely cannot afford that.

How do I remove Dealicious?

Delete it from your computer at once and acquire a reliable antispyware application that will terminate other potential threats that you almost certainly have. You need to exercise safe web browsing habits because a computer security program of your choice is not enough to keep your system protected. You should not give cyber criminals a chance to infect your system in the first place.
