How does Outrageous Deal work?

Outrageous Deal is installed as a standalone program that modifies browser settings to display commercial advertisements. So it is like most adware that operates via browser extensions. When active, this program should render ads in the form of coupons, banners, pop-ups, and search-related ads. The ads may be annoying, but the problem does not end there. Our researchers believe that at least some of its advertisements come from unreliable sources, as this program’s developers do not check whether their promoted content is legitimate and safe. This opens up opportunities for scammers to promote malicious programs, such as rogue anti-virus tools and fictitious online shopping websites that seek to obtain your online banking credentials. So, on the whole, Outrageous Deal in not only annoying but somewhat dangerous as well.
