Remove "Suggested Deals" Adware (Uninstall Guide)

Ads by Suggested Deals are not only annoying but can also indicate that your computer is infected with adware and other malware. If you keep getting ads or popups "By Suggested Deals" then you should definitely scan your computer for malware. Thanks to the increasingly amount of time that we spend connected to the internet we are putting ourselves at increasing risk from attack by an unscrupulous hacker, phisher or adware programmer. In other words; the sort of people who use malware and other dubious tactics to either cause us stress or use us for their own financial gain. But of course, it's not quite as simple as saying 'go online less often' as we all rely on the internet to provide us with the resources we need to work and make the most of our free time. Even if that free time is spent online looking at gossip websites, updating our Facebook statuses, playing Farmville or shopping!

But where do these risks actually come from? Many of them, including Suggested Deals adware are the result of us having downloaded some freeware, or free software. There can't be many people who would say that they don't love a freebie, but an incredibly high proportion of freeware files and programs also come bundled with add-ons – and those add-ons can be adware or other types of malware.

How to avoid add-ons like Suggested Deals when downloading freeware or shareware

You've discovered the latest must-have application that really will help you embark on that new fitness regime (really!) or the latest episode of your favorite TV show is now available for download. You eagerly rush through the installation, skipping through the wording in the End User License Agreement (boring!) Well that's your first mistake right there because if the file or application is also bundled with Suggested Deals adware, you have automatically allowed it to install itself on your PC.

The point is that you actually need to read the licensing agreement. Yes, we know they're often long, and always tedious, but most of them do tell you if they are also going to install that extra program on your machine too. The declaration will probably be confusingly worded and you may also find that check boxes are pre-configured and checked or unchecked in the favor of the Suggested Deals adware installation.

Is it really worth the hassle of reading the End User License Agreement?

Well we think so and that is because the majority of advertising supported software comes with a tricky little component that installs itself on your PC so that it can track which websites you visit. This data is recorded and sent back (using your internet connection!) to the adware's owner or programmer so that they are able to show you advertising, "By Suggested Deals" in this case, that matches the products or services that you were looking at on those websites.

So to answer our own question, if you are downloading freeware or software, YES, we do think that it is worth spending a few minutes to read the End User License Agreement a little more closely. After all, this is your privacy we are talking about! Now, if your computer is already infected, please follow the steps in the removal guide below. It shouldn't be very difficult to remove Suggested Deals adware. And next time, pay close attention to programs you install, especially freeware. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!
