This adware itself is not an extremely bad program; however, it might still act in an undesirable way, so it would be better to remove it from the system.

Dealnj advertises itself as a “light-weight browser extension” that finds the best deals and shows them for users when they shop at online stores. The program claims that it does that for only one reason – to save money for you; however, we do not think that it is true because ad-supported programs are primarily created to drive traffic to different web pages and generate money for the publisher. Dealnj supports newer versions of Windows OS and even MAC OS X, Linux, and Chrome OS. Therefore, we are sure that it is targeted at thousands of computer users. As Dealnj claims to be an amazing shopping helper, there are many users who download and install this piece of software because they believe its promises blindly. Of course, Dealnj might enter systems without asking permission as well. Either way, it would be best to remove Dealnj from the system. Luckily, Dealnj will disappear from your PC after you find and eliminate all the extensions it adds to the browsers. Before you do that, read through this article. Read more »
