DealNoDeal (DealNoDeal virus, Deal No Deal) is the name of an adware program and browser application that generates pop-up advertisements across Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Advertisements served by DealNoDeal adware will usually contain text that says “Ads by DealNoDeal” somewhere on them.

What is DealNoDeal?

DealNoDeal is an ad-serving and supported potentially unwanted program (PUP) and web application that serves banner, pop-up, pop-under, and in-text advertisements on Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Advertisements displayed by this adware usually say something similar to “Ads by DealNoDeal” on them. However, the advertisements may say something completely different and be delivered by a third-party platform associated with the initial adware infection. Furthermore, some advertisements may not detail what adware platform they are associated with.

DealNoDeal adware is discussed as a big privacy concern because it serves ‘targeted’ advertisements to the internet user. Targeted advertisements can only be manufactured if the unwanted program has obtained access to extensive user browsing data. This means that DealNoDeal adware will need to and can access and collect user browsing data, such as all browsing activities (web searches, manually submitted information, current webpage content), bookmarks, app data, and browser history.

DealNoDeal bundles with other potentially unwanted programs, malware, and other possible malicious threats. This means that in order to get rid of ads by DealNoDeal and stop other unwanted computer symptoms from occurring it will most likely be necessary to uninstall multiple programs from Windows Control Panel and remove multiple browser add-ons and extensions from Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Many of these programs can not easily be found on a computer system without help from third-party security scanners.

Third-party programs and malware that can bundle with DealNoDeal adware will cause other issues aside from pop-up advertisements. Other issues include unwanted browser redirections to sponsored webpages, like Jogostempo.com, decreased computer productivity, and decreased internet speed.

DealNoDeal adware and the additional programs that it bundles with also manufacture new tasks and change existing Windows start-up settings in order to run every time the operating system starts and remain enabled if disabled by the user. Programs and browser attachments that may arrive with this deceptive piece of adware can also cause other issues for computer and internet users aside from pop-up advertisements, including browser redirections and a loss in computer functionality and internet connectivity. Furthermore, if DealNoDeal is manually removed, it is possibly that the adware or another one in its place will return before a week has passed.

How did DealNoDeal get on my computer?

DealNoDeal adware is primarily automatically contracted without consent or knowledge of the computer user through third-party programs and files that hev remained undetected on the computer system. The potentially unwanted programs and files that deliver the adware are usually contracted without user consent alongside freeware, shareware, torrent files, and other free downloadable content.

Computer and internet users who seek to download and install free items online may be presented with an opportunity to accept or decline a custom offer to install DealNoDeal adware and other programs. However, the request to decline DealNoDeal adware from installing is often presented in a very deceptive manner, which can make it confusing for a computer user. In some cases, the download manager may completely ignore the user request to decline DealNoDeal from installing and the adware will install against user consent and knowledge.
