Behind the name “Shopping Deals” there’s an adware whose main goal is to show many ads to those users that have not been paying enough attention to stop it from being installed. We call this kind of program “potentially unwanted” because with a little cooperation on our side, or in other words willingness to read what’s being offered to us whenever we’re installing free software, we could easily prevent the installation from happening, and not only of Shopping Deals but of many other parasite software such as this.
Have no doubt, it is through free software that Shopping Deals arrives massively to the public. We should most of the time customize any install process started in our computers to avoid this kind of threat from being installed. Although the word threat in this case could be a little harsh, because there’s no grave danger in having Shopping Deals installed, the real problem is of a visual nature because with all those ads every website visited becomes impossible to enjoy. On the other hand if your computer is not exactly brand new you might be in bigger problems because whatever little resource still free will be used by Shopping Deals.
As a final note, we advice you to be very careful with the emerging amounts of so called security blogs suggesting to use their removal tools, most of the time they will make you pay for a tool that might not even work at all.
