Deals Avenue is the name of an adware, a program that inserts itself into our computers with the helping hand of free software whose setup program has been modified to include it by certain download platforms. If you don’t make sure to customize the install process of such software, Deals Avenue gets also installed and usually along with many other infections.
These ads can be seen either as banners, pop-ups, green/blue links among the text of every visited website, etc. It’s not uncommon to notice we have been infected with Deals Avenue because its ads are tagged as Deals Avenue Ads or Powered by Deals Avenue.
Deals Avenue is also classified as a spyware, because it spies on your online activity. Every visited website and every web search performed is analyzed and saved into huge databases that will most certainly be sold afterwards either to spammers or on the web’s black market.
Even though Deals Avenue has its own shiny official website, you won’t be able to download the software there. The only reason this website was built and published, is to give the software a legitimate look so users will trust it. On the other hand, it also serves to make their conditions of use public.
