How to remove apps opening finddealsdaily.com and similar sites
Written by Tomas Meskauskas on (updated)
What is finddealsdaily[.]com?
There are many pages similar to finddealsdaily[.]com on the internet. Some examples are liveads[.]net, freshannouncement[.]com, and itscythera[.]com. All of these pages are created to promote other bogus sites and load dubious content.
None of these sites can be trusted and, in most cases, people do not visit them intentionally - they are opened by browsers that have potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) installed on them, through clicked deceptive advertisements, and other dubious pages.
Typically, pages such as finddealsdaily[.]com are opened in new browser windows or tabs because of installed PUAs. Depending on visitors' geolocations, these pages open two/three bogus web pages or load dubious content.
Avoid finddealsdaily[.]com and other sites of this type - they can open potentially malicious pages or those designed to trick visitors into installing adware, browser hijackers, and other unwanted software.
These sites also use 'clickbait' techniques to trick visitors into clicking the "Allow" button, which gives them permission to show notifications - finddealsdaily[.]com loads a message claiming that visitors must click the button to receive information regarding the "next stimulus check".
When these pages are able to show notifications, they display dubious ads, promote potentially malicious pages, scam pages, etc. Therefore, neither finddealsdaily[.]com nor other dubious page should get permission to show any notifications.
PUAs are often designed to collect data and serve advertisements.
Most target browsing-related data such as Internet Protocol addresses, entered search queries, geolocations, addresses of visited websites, and so on, however, some target personal, sensitive data. This is to generate revenue for the developers who sell gathered data to third parties (potentially cyber criminals) or monetize it in other ways.
PUAs can be designed to serve coupons, pop-ups, surveys, banners, and other advertisements. These open dubious, potentially malicious pages or execute certain scripts and download/install other PUAs. Note that they cannot do anything unless clicked.
To summarize, after installation of PUAs, users often start having issues relating to online privacy, browsing safety and even become victims of identity theft. Therefore, apps of this type should never be downloaded or installed.

Users do not often download or install PUAs intentionally. These apps are advertised as useful and legitimate, however, they are useless and can cause serious issues. Remove all PUAs from browsers and operating systems immediately.
How did adware install on my computer?
People often download and install unwanted apps inadvertently via deceptive advertisements - they click ads that cause unwanted downloads/installations by executing certain scripts.
Unwanted downloads and installations also occur during download/installation of other programs. I.e., when PUAs are included into the set-ups as 'extra offers'. This PUA distribution method of PUAs is called "bundling".
Typically, offers to download and install these additional apps can be declined via "Custom", "Advanced" or other settings, or by unticking certain checkboxes within the set-ups. When users download and install programs without making these checks and changes, they often allow PUAs to infiltrate.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications
You are advised to research all software before download/installation. Use only official and verified download channels. Unofficial and free file-hosting websites, Peer-to-Peer sharing networks (BitTorrent, Gnutella, eMule), and other third party downloaders commonly offer harmful and bundled content, and are therefore untrusted and should be avoided.
When downloading/installing, read the terms, study all possible options, use the "Custom/Advanced" settings and opt-out of additional apps, tools, features, and so on.
Intrusive advertisements typically seem legitimate, however, they can redirect to dubious and malicious sites (e.g. gambling, pornography, adult-dating, and many others). If you encounter ads or redirects of this kind, inspect the system and remove all dubious applications and browser extensions/plug-ins immediately.
Installed programs must be activated and updated with tools or implemented functions that are provided by the official developers. No other third party, unofficial tools should be used.
Note that it is illegal to activate licensed software with ‘cracking’ tools. Files and programs should be downloaded from official websites and via direct download links. Avoid third party installers and the tools/sources mentioned above.
Do not open website links or files in irrelevant emails that are received from unknown, suspicious addresses. These bogus emails are often disguised as official and important. Regularly, scan your computer with reputable, up-to-date antivirus or anti-spyware software.
If your computer is already infected with rogue applications, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate them.

How to avoid browser notification spam?
Internet users should be very skeptical when being asked to allow notifications. While this is a useful feature that allows you to receive timely news from websites you like, deceptive marketers frequently abuse it.
Only allow notifications from websites that you fully trust. For added security - use an anti-malware application with a real-time web browsing monitor to block shady websites that tries to trick you into allowing spam notifications. We recommend using Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows.
