Easy Deals is a browser plugin that belongs to a huge group of coupon applications, intended to improve your overall online shopping experience. Although it is very unlikely for the plugin to enter your system surreptitiously, if you see it on your browser, it is recommended to remove Easy Deals as it may be the key stone of various security-related problems later on. The danger behind such extensions lies in the fact that they can easily be exploited by malicious parties to display corrupted pop-up ads. Were you to click on any of such advertisements, you would be easily infected with malware.
Naturally, this is a conclusion that you would like to avoid. At first it may really seem that Easy Deals merely informs you of coupons and discount offers on a number of online stores. However, just like the extension itself makes use of Crossrider engine to get developed, it also taps into an extensive third party advertising network to generate content for its pop-up advertisements. Needless to say, that the third party content cannot be a subject to Easy Deals privacy policy. Hence, even if the pop-ups were to display malicious or corrupted content, you could not blame Easy Deals for it, because that would not be part of the extension’s “jurisdiction”.
What is more, due to its intrusive nature, it is easy to come to a hasty conclusion that Easy Deals is a computer infection. Nevertheless, the extension is not a computer malware which means that users install it themselves. It could be that you download Easy Deals with freeware applications from third party websites. For example, whenever you download various toolbars, downloaders, shareware games, file converters and so on, you need to make sure that these are the only applications you install on your computer. Of course, it would be for the best to avoid installing ANY program from unofficial source, but in case you really need it, be sure to install ONLY that one program. Otherwise you will be soon plagued by pop-up ads displayed by the likes of Easy Deals.
Luckily, Easy Deals is easy to remove as this extension has an installation entry in Control Panel. Therefore, once you uninstall Easy Deals manually, run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner to check for other potentially dangerous programs on your PC. Since freeware travels in packs, it is very likely that there are other unwanted programs installed. Do not hesitate to invest in a powerful antimalware tool if need be.
