OfferssDirect

The OfferssDirect software from h[tt]p://offerssdirect[.]com/index.html# may be promoted to users as a shopping companion that delivers exclusive promotions to avid Web shoppers. The OfferssDirect installer can't be downloaded from its official page, but you may find it in free software bundles under the 'Advanced' and 'Custom' options. The OfferssDirect program is designed to change the homepage settings in your browser, as well as read all data you exchange with third parties via your Internet browser. The OfferssDirect New Tab page may feature many advertisements from various marketers that might offer interesting offers. However, the OfferssDirect software lacks a valid entry on the Chrome Web Store, the Mozilla Add-ons platform, the IE Gallery and the Windows Store.

The code of OfferssDirect is not checked by leading browser vendors. There are reports of browser hijacking and abundance of advertisements that carry the slogan 'Powered by OfferssDirect.' Many cybersecurity researchers perceive the OfferssDirect program to be an adware that loads coupons, discounts, promotions, video commercials, and various banners on non-affiliated Web pages. The aim of the OfferssDirect adware appears to be the monetization of the user's Internet traffic and a potential sales increase in the stores of sponsors. The OfferssDirect adware behaves similarly to the Awesome Dealers adware that emerged a few days before the program at hand. We are not sure if both apps are connected directly, but it is obvious that they seek to bombard users with advertisements. The OfferssDirect app does not allow users to specify the way promotions are to be displayed on their screens and what type of promotional content they may be interested in. The resources loaded by the OfferssDirect adware may include links to phishing pages and newly registered domains that offer fake updates to Adobe Flash and Java. We recommend using a trusted anti-malware tool that can eliminate the OfferssDirect and prevent it from exposing users to unverified ads.
