What is FreeDealsApp?
FreeDealsApp is one of those programs that may have already tricked you into downloading them to your computer thinking that they could help you save the money by revealing the latest discounts, price comparisons and other great deals. Unfortunately, we will have to disappoint you because such programs like this browser add-on can be used only for affiliate marketing. Once this or similar browser add-on enters computer, it settles down on each of web browsers and starts causing annoying pop-up ads. No matter that the most of these ads are really filled with information about discounts, they may also be filled with questionable links leading you to questionable websites. If you want to avoid unsafe sites that may trick you into downloading more questionable programs to your PC system, you should avoid FreeDealsApp ads. By the way, not everyone could realize that such programs as this browser add-on travel around together with cookies. Once inside the system, they begin tracking PC users and start collecting various data. Beware that FreeDealsApp and similar browser add-ons may start collecting information about your mostly visited websites, data that you enter there, your PC's IP address, location, your email address and similar information. If you don't want that questionable third parties could get ability to use this data for their own needs, you should avoid FreeDealsApp virus. If you noticed its ads during your browsing, you shouldn't waste your time. In this case, we recommend you scanning your computer with the reputable anti-spyware, such as Reimage.

How can FreeDealsApp hijack my computer?
FreeDealsApp can be downloaded from the Internet just like any other program. Nevertheless, we believe that we could find much more people who discovered this program on their computers without having an idea how it got there. That's because it can also be downloaded to the system in a bundle with freeware and shareware. For avoiding this, you should start monitoring installation of the freeware. By saying 'monitoring' we think about checking what it is said in program's end user's license agreement, privacy policy and similar sources of information. Also, you should make sure you opt for Custom or Advanced installation option. It will help you to see what is hiding in your program's 'optional' components. If you noticed a check mark saying that you want to install FreeDealsApp or similar browser add-on, extension, plugin, toolbar, etc., we don't recommend you to agree with that. In order to opt out of it, you should simply uncheck this check mark. If you can't do that, you should look for another freeware and stop installation of this aggressive one. Of course, sometimes viruses and potentially unwanted programs appear on PCs unnoticed. If that is the case, you should run a full system scan with updated anti-spyware and fix your computer. It will help you to fix your PC and get rid of all dangerous applications.
