What is DealCabby?

DealCabby is a browser add-on claiming to 'enhance' users' Internet browsing experience by displaying third party ads with various deals, coupons, and offers. This browser plug-in alone is not technically considered malware or a virus, however, it is categorized as an unwanted application, since it commonly installs on users' systems without their consent.

Stealth installations such as these may occur since many browser add-ons (including DealBuddy) are bundled with free software downloaded from the Internet. Free software developers often bundle their programs with browser toolbars and plug-ins for monetization purposes.
