Where does FoxyDeal come from?

Most adware programs are very similar. Very few of them do something other than display commercial advertisements. But let us get specific. FoxyDeal is associated with a website called Foxydeal.com. However, we want to make our international audience aware that the Foxydeal.de, Foxydeal.in, and so on is one and the same website, but in a different language. This application seems to be owned by an advertising company, called R&E Media from Germany. It must be said that this adware application is only known to be disseminated via software bundles. It is most likely featured on piracy websites, since we know that the application is installed secretly, without the user’s knowledge or consent. So you might not even know that you have FoxyDeal on your computer. Make sure to check your computer for any malicious software using some sort of antimalware scanner. If you don’t know what kind of program to use, we propose giving SpyHunter a try.

What does FoxyDeal do?

The application is set to display promotional pop-ups and coupons. Apart from that it appears that the application does not do anything else. Now, it must be said that the ads are most likely not linked with any of the retailers that are supposedly promoted by it. Clicking a coupon will redirect you to the retailer’s website, but that is it. It seems that the application’s main purpose is to generate traffic to the websites. Unfortunately we do not know who is paying them. One thing is for sure, the retailers themselves would not do business with small-time online advertisers. FoxyDeal is likely to collect non-personal information, such as browsing and search history, and provide it to third parties. So if you do not approve of the actions that this application does, you should remove it.
