What is DealsFinder?

DealsFinder is a potentially unwanted application that functions as browser extension. It is compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer web browsers. The application usually is installed on a target computer as it comes bundled with freeware downloads. Technically, DealsFinder is classified as adware, which means that this software automatically generates pop-up and other type of advertisements in order to make money for whoever has created it. However, these advertisements might prove to be annoying and even dangerous, which is why you are strongly recommended to delete DealsFinder from your computer, at the same time removing all the other unwanted applications if any. test test Download Removal Tool100% FREE spyware scan and

Where does DealsFinder come from?

Computer security experts suggest that DealsFinder usually comes bundled with malicious downloaders and installers. It means that there is no official website for DealsFinder itself, although the application is very similar to Media Player Enhance app and all the other programs from the same group.

Since the application generally comes bundled with freeware, it means that you install it onto your computer YOURSELF. Users also often have a chance to avoid installing such programs, but they all too often skip installation steps in order to setup a program as soon as possible.

At the same time it means that DealsFinder is not the only potentially unwanted program you may have on your computer, and that regular system scan is the best way to ensure that your system is safe from various threats.

What does DealsFinder do?

The program’s behavior is more than obvious – since it is an adware application it generates and displays various commercial advertisements. DealsFinder is supposed to an application that displays coupon deals and discount offers. These coupons should help you save money when you shop online, but the problem is that DealsFinder does not generate the personalized content from its own database, the links and offers you see on its pop-ups belong to some third party advertising network, and no one can actually assure that the content displayed on the ads is absolutely safe.

Thus, if you click any of the DealsFinder’s pop-ups on eBay, Amazon or YouTube, you click them on your own risk. Clicking the ads is highly not recommended, because malicious content might be embedded into the ads as well.
