Hi. I receive just too many ads recently. What does that mean? They have no labels, just offers with price comparisons on different websites including Verizon, Target, Amazon, Ebay (especially), and many many more. I investigated these ads and found out that they come from getidealscom page. iDeals Shopping Optimizer – is it a product of Apple? because it does not look so…

First of all, we would like to thank you for your question.
Now, let us answer your question. This program IS NOT AN APPLE product. It uses a similar product name to make users think that this program is safe. Notwithstanding, computer experts claim that it is a potentially unwanted app, that is also known as an adware-category software. Adware programs display coupons, discount codes, and price comparisons in a form of annoying ads (pop-up windows or banners).
However, such ads are hardly useful because they are created to look attractive to make the user click on them. As a result, the user gets redirected to iDeals Shopping Optimizer's sponsors websites, and the developers of iDeals gain pay-per-click profit for that. Sadly, some of these redirects can end users up on malicious websites, and that is why we do not recommend clicking on ads by iDeals Shopping Optimizer. Moreover, you should remove this program from your computer with no delay because this program might track your browsing activity and share it with third-party partners.
