Dealnj Ads

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The Dealnj browser add-on is promoted at Dealnj.co and free software bundles as 'a light-weight browser extension that simply shows you better deals before you shop online.' You should not be too hasty with the installation of the Dealnj browser add-on because it is an adware. Security experts note that the Dealnj adware is very similar to DealMan, DealXplorer and DealHut in name and functionality. The Dealnj adware may claim to have versions for Mac OS X, Chrome OS, and Linux but it has versions only for Windows. The Dealnj adware may be compatible with modern Web browsers and is built on the Crossrider platform. The Dealnj adware is designed to run as a portable program which means that it will not show up on your 'Programs and Features' panel and Add-ons Manager. The Dealnj adware may use JavaScript and ActionScript to load marketing materials on pop-up windows, banners, inline hyperlinks and ad-boxes on every page loaded in your browser.

Security experts report that the Dealnj adware might edit your DNS settings to connect untrusted sites that may be blocked by Google Safe browsing and anti-virus programs. Additionally, the Dealnj adware may use tracking cookies, DOM storage data and record your search terms on Google. The ads by Dealnj may show very small prices for products you like on Amazon and eBay to encourage you to shop at partnering stores. You should not purchase products that are promoted by Dealnj because you may not receive a refund in case the product you bought looks differently and is faulty. The main objective of the Dealnj adware is to guarantee a steady flow of pay-per-click revenue for its developers and users may need to close many pop-up windows with commercials every time they start an online session. The Dealnj adware may install its files in the Temp folder under Windows, and you would need to use a trusted anti-malware instrument to delete it safely.
