The DealNinja browser extension from XDisc Corp Ltd. is advertised on the Reliable.ninja website as a fast and lightweight shopping helper that delivers updated deals and offers regularly to help you save money. Your online shopping may become annoying when you install the DealNinja extension because it is adware and may cover your screen with coupons, discounts, and vouchers when you visit sites like Amazon. Security analysts note that the DealNinja adware may land on your PC in the shadow of the 'Custom' and 'Advanced' option of a free program installer. The DealNinja adware is similar to its compatriots like Ninja Savings and Best Price Ninja and may run in your system background to avoid raising suspicion. The DealNinja adware may read the Meta tags of the pages you browse on the Internet to load tailor-suited ads via JavaScript and ActionScript3. The advertisements delivered by the DealNinja adware may contain links to the Dark Web where exploit kits like Sibhost could be hosted.

The DealNinja adware comes from the same team behind iStreamLite and DealTotal and may exhibit similar behavior that include showing pop-up and pop-under windows and redirecting users to sponsored content. Moreover, the DealNinja adware may collect non-personally identifiable data like your IP address, browser type, OS version and place persistent tracking cookies. The DealNinja adware may allow partners of XDisc Corp Ltd. to recognize your computer when you shop online and provide you with custom advertisements suited to your recent purchases and browsing history. The DealNinja adware is not deemed as a severe threat, but its behavior may irritate users and prevent them from enjoying the Internet. You could use a credible anti-spyware tool to remove the DealNinja adware from your PC safely.
