MacDiscount Deals is an adware program that may be designed exclusively for generating traffic to certain related sites that may be sponsored by the application’s creators. The MacDiscount Deals ads are known to load up after the installation of random freeware programs or bundled software usually obtained from a downloads site on the internet. When loaded, the MacDiscount Deals ads may then attempt to offer various deals or coupon discounts through the internet. Use of the MacDiscount Deals ads may then cause web browsers to redirect to random pages where the offers prove to be questionable. Many times web browser applications will have reduced performance due to the MacDiscount Deals ads being displayed, which may be reversed when MacDiscount Deals and its associated plugins or add-ons are all removed.
