Ads by Generous Deal

What is Generous Deal?

Developed by SuperWeb LLC, Generous Deal is a dubious app that falsely claims to enhance the Internet browsing experience - "We're passionate about improving web by providing the best tools to enhance the browsing experience, from searching the web to comparing online deals to find the best prices.

We've combined all of our great ideas into the Generous Deal product suite, a FREE set of tools that work to make your browsing experience... better!" These false claims often trick users into believing that Generous Deal is legitimate and useful, however, this app generates intrusive online advertisements and continually monitors browsing activity.

In addition, Generous Deal often infiltrates systems without users’ permission. Therefore, this app is classed as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware.

Generous Deal employs a 'virtual layer' to generate pop-up, coupon, price comparison, interstitial, transitional, full-page, search, banner, and other similar intrusive ads. None originate from users' visited websites and often conceal underlying content. This significantly diminishes the Internet browsing experience.

Furthermore, the displayed advertisements often redirect to malicious websites that contain infectious content. Therefore, clicking ads generated by Generous Deal may lead to further high-risk adware or malware infections.

Generous Deal continually tracks Internet browsing activity by collecting search queries entered into search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.), website URLs visited, pages viewed, unique identifier numbers, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (to determine geographic location), and other similar browsing-related data.

Some of this collected data might be personally identifiable and shared by SuperWeb LLC with third parties who misuse private details to generate revenue. Therefore, information tracking can lead to serious privacy issues. For these reasons, you are strongly advised to eliminate Generous Deal adware immediately.

Generous Deal Privacy Policy statement regarding data collection:

We only share or sell your non-public personal information with non-affiliated third parties when we believe doing so is permitted by you or authorized by this Privacy Policy. In addition, the Company may share your personal information with our parent, subsidiary or affiliate companies without restriction.

SuperWeb LLC has released hundreds of identical potentially unwanted programs. Elements Peruse, Jazz Spot, Pass and Play, and Native Info are just some examples from the long list. 

All of these applications claim to provide identical features, however, their purpose is to generate as much revenue as possible for SuperWeb LLC, a company that intentionally releases identical apps under different names to prevent detection by legitimate anti-virus/anti-spyware suites.

No apps designed by this company provides any significant value for users - they simply deliver intrusive advertisements (using the 'Pay Per Click’ [PPC] advertising model) and collect personal data (which is later shared with third parties to generate revenue).

How did Generous Deal install on my computer?

Generous Deal is distributed using deceptive software 'installers' that bundle third party software. Developers hide this PUP within the 'Custom/Advanced' settings of the download or installation processes. Thus, users who skip this section, often installing Generous Deal inadvertently.
