The Dealicious browser add-on may seem like a helpful shopping assistant, but it's classified as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) with adware capabilities. The Dealicious app is built on the Crossrider platform and can work with Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari and Mozilla Firefox. Users may start seeing ads by Dealicious after they install a freeware package via the 'Express' or 'Typical' option. Also, the Dealicious browser add-on is available to download from its official website where users can read its ToS (Terms of Service). You should note that the Dealicious app employs several tracking technologies like HTTP, session and Adobe Flash cookies as well as recording your search criteria on Google and Bing. The advertisers affiliated with Dealicious can use that information to present you with targeted marketing materials loaded in banners, contextual commercials, video ads and pop-up windows. Security experts note that the Dealicious add-on functions as a redirect-gateway to content by third parties and your clicks at your risk. Needless to say, when you explore untrusted Internet resources your safety could be compromised. Security analysts remind users that they can remove the Dealicious app safely by using a credible anti-spyware program.
