Ads by Amazon Deal Finder

What is Amazon Deal Finder?

Amazon Deal Finder is a potentially unwanted application claiming to save time and money by enabling comparison shopping, coupons, and displaying discounts/special deals available on shopping websites. This functionality may seem useful and legitimate, however, be aware that Amazon Deal Finder is categorized as adware.

It was developed to employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' as a distribution method, and for this reason, most users install Amazon Deal Finder during download of free software via small programs called 'download managers' on freeware download websites.

This potentially unwanted program (PUP) is compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

Following successful infiltration on these browsers, Amazon Deal Finder generates numerous intrusive online advertisements such as banner, pop-up, interstitial, in-text, and coupon ads. It is highly probable that clicking these advertisements will cause high-risk adware or malware infections.

Furthermore, users' Internet browsing activity is continually monitored since this rogue browser add-on records various information including IP addresses, geo-locations, search queries entered, website URLs visited, pages viewed, cookies, and other related details that may be personally identifiable.

Amazon Deal Finder is similar to other PUPs promising to enhance users' Internet browsing experience by enabling certain functions. Shopper Pro, Sense, Rocket Tab, and Shopping Suggestion are just a few examples amongst many others.

None of these browser plug-ins add any real value for the user - their purpose is to generate income by the display of intrusive online advertisements. This behavior may result in serious privacy issues or identity theft, and therefore, you are strongly advised to uninstall Amazon Deal Finder from your Internet browsers.

At time of research, Amazon Deal Finder was distributed via download managers on freeware download websites including download.com, soft32.com, softonic.com, etc.

Download managers are used as these websites' free service monetization tool since they offer installation of promoted (according to the developers, '100% virus-free') browser add-ons together with the chosen free software. Thus, reckless download and installation of freeware often results in adware or malware infections.

This situation can be prevented by closely inspecting each step of the free software download process and never accepting installation of any additional programs offered.

If you are installing downloaded software, select the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Similar' - this will reveal any bundled applications listed for installation and allow them to be declined. Internet users who have already installed Amazon Deal Finder adware, should follow this removal guide to eliminate it from their Internet browsers.
