Shopping Deals is a classic example of adware. The only function of this dubious browser add-on is to display deals and seemingly good offers. The numerous advertisements can occupy your web client, no matter if it is Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer. The commercial materials tend to be rather aggressive – you may notice a series of pop-ups, banners and interstitial ads on the majority of sites you go to. The adware may be deployed to your system when you install another free program, which may be totally safe. Shopping Deals doesn't provide any reasonably useful feature, but still needs to convince the user to load it somehow. The adware achieves this mission by the promise to save some money to the client thanks to the shown shopping deals. In reality, the purpose of this add-on is not to assist you with your online purchases. Its developers benefit from pay-per-click commissions whenever you visit affiliate pages. These third-party sites may be of zero help to you as they are often too suspicious to be trusted. Some of them may try to misguide the visitor – they may offer questionable software or ask him to call bogus IT specialists. If you don't click on the ads, your system will most likely remain safe. Nevertheless, the functionality of the web browsers may be hampered, so you should seriously consider deleting Shopping Deals.
