DealTotal

DealTotal adware is very aggressive and injects the webpages you visit with deceptive and targeted style advertisements that usually say something like Ads by DealTotalDealTotal Ads, or brought by DealTotal on them. The advertisements are defined as ‘targeted’ ads because in order to generate they will initially need to obtain access to and collect personal browsing data, including information about all the websites you visit, the things you search for online, text you input into online text fields, your browser history, and browser bookmarks. The adware basically ‘targets’ you based off of your current and past browsing habits and manufactures advertisements it feels you will most likely click on.

Even though this adware is often referred to as the DealTotal virus it is not technically defined as a computer virus. The adware is still similar to a virus and is a threat to your privacy and can be the sign of a severe malware infection. The internet security community strongly recommends that you remove DealTotal if you find it installed on your machine or attached to your internet browser as a browser add-on or extension, as well as to use reputable Antivirus or Anti-Malware software to eradicate any existing malicious files that may arrive with the adware.

DealTotal and programs like it are usually contracted without knowledge via third-party software bundlers and download managers distributed by a wide variety of websites, such as CNET, Softonic, and others. It may arrive on a computer system once other programs have been introduced to the machine. Software that delivers DealTotal adware may includes freeware, shareware, and dubious torrent files.
