Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

AllDealApp is adware that makes changes to your Web browser's settings to display new advertising content. These advertisements may provide some legitimate deals, but also may harm your Web-browsing experience with associated security and performance issues. If you decide to uninstall AllDealApp from your browser, using dedicated anti-adware tools to do so can offer the simplest way of removing all related symptoms and settings changes, such as AllDealApp's Registry entries.
AllDealApp All the Time – without Needing Your Consent
AllDealApp is a browser add-on that malware experts have seen only in the Chrome Web browser. While claiming that AllDealApp provides valuable e-shopping bargains, AllDealApp generates affiliated advertising content without necessarily filtering them for relevance or ideal prices. The majority of these advertisements are injected directly into the pages loaded by your browser, and may include formats such as:
- Graphical banners.
- Product comparison thumbnails.
- Sponsored results in your Web searches.
AllDealApp also may monitor your browsing activity for selecting advertising content that ostensibly is relevant to your Web searches and product views. At this time, malware experts found no indications of AllDealApp exploiting its functions to collect legally-protected information of any type, such as account passwords. However, its presence may be sufficient for degrading Chrome's performance by increasing loading times or altering Web page formats in unforeseen ways.
Standard install methods for AllDealApp rarely request the PC user's informed consent before installing this adware. Malware experts also found notable AllDealApp's lack of any of the standard marketing or software distribution campaigns that are traditional of reputable browser add-ons. In most cases, AllDealApp may be assumed to be introduced by being bundled with other, recently-opened file downloads.
Turning AllDealApp into a 'No Deal' App
Most PC users have issues with identifying or removing AllDealApp, which may use installation techniques intended to prevent AllDealApp from being uninstalled by standardized methods. Along with these problems, AllDealApp may be part of the payload of another PC threat, such as a Trojan downloader, and may be installed along with other, unwanted applications. Any PC inflicted with a non-consensual installation of AllDealApp should be examined by appropriate PC security tools, such as anti-malware scanners, to determine whether or not AllDealApp is the only issue with the system.
Removing AllDealApp is only one portion of a safe, all-inclusive response to adware. Malware experts also encourage PC users experiencing adware issues to monitor their browsers for search hijackings, homepage changes and related Web-surfing problems. Finally, advertising content associated with AllDealApp, while not exclusively hostile, should be interacted only with a high degree of personal awareness of all the risks involved.
AllDealApp's public distribution began to peak recently this year, with Windows systems being the most likely to be affected.
