DealsMyWay is a highly suspicious Web extension that claims to be a reliable shopping assistant. DealsMyWay may come together with other freeware. According to the product description, DealsMyWay should show you the best daily deals and offers, thus saving money on your purchases. In reality, however, DealsMyWay has not been created to assist the users but to take advantage of them. DealsMyWay has a vast partner network, consisting of all kinds of websites. The only thing in common is that all of them want to increase their popularity and to get more visitors. Offering them this function, DealsMyWay and its developers receive certain commissions whenever they redirect a PC user there. While this process may seem innocent to the less experienced people, the truth is that it may cause various issues. The introductory and most serious problem is that some of the affiliated pages may be unsafe. The people who create adware extensions may not analyze their partners properly. In addition to the e-commerce platforms, some ads by DealsMyWay may open potentially threatening pages. Going to such domains may cause a severe system infection. Another aspect of DealsMyWay that most users may not appreciate concerns the number of ads that DealsMyWay generates. No matter which site you open, you may encounter rather intrusive pop-ups, banners, videos, eye-catching animations or other commercial materials. Some of them may be deals and coupons directly related to your surfing habits. Others, however, may be fake security warnings that suggest you call a bogus technical support. You also may notice messages that encourage you to install other equally suspicious applications. You may experience a sudden decrease of the operating speed of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer as well. To fix your Web clients and remove the aggressive ads, you should use professional security software to delete DealsMyWay.
