The BiggestDeals shopping advisor by Biggest Deals Inc. may claim to deliver quality ads and exclusive deals, but you may want to know that security experts perceive it as a Potentially Unwanted Program with adware capabilities. The BiggestDeals binary is deployed to web surfers with the help of free software bundles and can be downloaded as a stand-alone installer from its official website. The BiggestDeals app generates pay-per-click revenue for its developers by showing you banners, in-text commercials, pop-up windows and boxes with products comparison. The BiggestDeals program may promote third-party software like SkyTech and UnFriendChecker that can decrease your browser performance and load additional ads. Also, the BiggestDeals adware may place a special toolbar at the bottom section of your browser to show you information on related products when you browse the Internet stores of Target, Amazon, Best Buy and eBay. Security experts note that the BiggestDeals app may appear as a browser plugin to conduct its operations and may place tracking cookies on your computer and read your Internet history to facilitate the display of custom-made ads. You may be interested to know that the BiggestDeals program may add a registry key in Windows to start at bootup and may change your home page. Many users may not approve of the way BiggestDeals works and the number of ads it loads while you surf the Web. Therefore, you may wish to use a trustworthy anti-spyware tool to remove all components of the BiggestDeals program.
