Adware

Have you fallen prey to Shopping Deals adware? If you have you will know only too well what a frustrating experience this can be. Many people tend to dismiss this adware and its "Brought by Shopping Deals" ads that pop up on any shopping related website, not seeing it to be as dangerous as other types of malware such as spyware, Trojan horses or viruses. But that doesn't mean that you should ignore its presence and not do anything about protecting yourself from it. After all, if you've ever been infected by a serious case of the adware blues, you will know exactly what I'm talking about!

What does Shopping Deals adware do?

If you think that being confronted by an endless stream of "Brought by Shopping Deals" pop up adverts that advertise nothing more interesting than low rent gambling websites, pornography and other dubious content, wouldn't really make that much difference to your user experience, then you need to think again. To make matters worse, these Shopping Deals pop up windows are tricky to get rid of and won't disappear no matter how many times you click on them to close them.

It is not only really, really annoying but it can also make your PC's operating system slow right down, and your Internet connection run sluggishly too. It can even cause websites to crash – no fun whether you're working, playing, shopping, or updating your social media statuses online.

And that's not all either because it can also misdirect your internet searches by sending you to websites that you didn't want to visit. It might even delete your current toolbar and install a new one – this is also a means for manipulating your web searches. And like the tenacious pop up windows, this toolbar will also be extremely tricky to get rid of.

More about why Shopping Deals makes your PC slow down

If you have Shopping Deals installed on your computer you also have the added issue of having spyware installed in conjunction with it. That's because the adware downloaded an added component which monitors the websites you visit and the product or service pages that you look at within the site. This data is recorded and then sent to the adware's programmer who is then able to see which products you are most interested in – and thus customize the Shopping Deals adverts that they show you. Not only does this increase the chances of you parting with some of your hard earned cash, but it also drives more traffic to the website.

It is all this work – the monitoring, gathering and relaying of data - that is going on behind the scenes of your computer that makes your operating system and internet connection slow down.

How to stop adware from becoming a problem

This adware is usually packaged with other files, apps or software so make sure you read the fine print before installing something. And of course, never open email or messenger attachments if you don't know the sender. Best of all install an anti-malware program on your computer.

Needless to say, this adware is a real pain, so protect yourself by installing a decent anti-malware program today. If it's already too late and your computer is infected with this adware and its relentless "Brought by Shopping Deals" advertisements, please follow the steps on the removal guide below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove "Ads by FreezeThePrice" Adware (Uninstall Guide)

Remove "Ads by FreezeThePrice" Adware (Uninstall Guide)

Adware

While I'm sure that you know what regular adware is, if you have been unfortunate enough to have found your computer infected by one of the more malignant types of adware called FreezeThePrice, then you won't need me to tell you just what a nightmare it can be to try to get rid of it and stop annoying "Ads by FreezeThePrice" advertisements that can take up your entire web browser tab. It is safe to say that while Advertising Supported Software, as adware is formally known, might not be as harmful as many of the other malicious software programs that are out there, it definitely takes home the gold medal for being one of the most pointlessly irritating ones.

We are all faced with adware every time that we are online, and most online adverts are fairly easy to ignore. The odd banner ad or boxed advert is probably not going to cause the average user too much hassle, however the FreezeThePrice adware that results in pop up or pop under windows will almost certainly have you throwing a few choice expletives at your PC! The problem is that you won't just see one pop up box and be able to click on it to close it – if only. No, pop up and under windows are relentless and will simply pop back up just as soon as you have closed them.

Even worse, many of these types of FreezeThePrice ads will have a button prominently placed on them that tells you to click 'ok' or 'close' to make them go away. However, very often these buttons are misleadingly labeled and will merely open the website they are advertising or even execute and run more malware. If you do have a pop up or under window on your screen, always take care to close it by clicking the little 'x' in the right hand corner of the box.

What else can this adware do?

Of course, as the name suggests, adware's main function is to market products, services or websites to us. But did you know that it also monitors the websites you browse so that it is able to tailor the FreezeThePrice adverts towards your interests? Once adware is installed on your PC, it will also download a spyware component, which tracks your data and sends it back to the adware programmer.

It can also slow your computer down thanks to all the work that the tracking component is doing behind the scenes. It uses your internet connection too, to send the info back to the programmer, which can have a knock on effect on your wi-fi speed.

How did I end up with FreezeThePrice on my computer?

Because this adware is normally packaged with other programs, files or apps you will probably have downloaded it at the same time that you upgraded, downloaded or installed something else. These programs or apps are usually free as the adware programmer uses advertising as a way to earn money on something they are giving away for nothing.

The only good news is that because FreezeThePrice is normally mentioned in the license agreement, you will have the option of blocking it before installation.

Needless to say, adware is a real pain, so protect yourself by installing a decent anti-malware program today. If it's already too late and your computer is infected with this adware and its relentless "Ads by FreezeThePrice" advertisements, please follow the steps on the removal guide below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove "Ads by DealTotal" Adware (Uninstall Guide)

Remove "Ads by DealTotal" Adware (Uninstall Guide)

Adware

It's highly likely that you've seen "Ads by DealTotal" and you've probably also become acquainted with spyware too – hopefully not in person though. But what are adware and spyware, what do they do, and can they cause you any problems? Read on and I hope to give you the answers you are looking for.

Even if you're not actually sure what DealTotal adware is, there is a good chance that you are familiar with pop-up windows that show you DealTotal adverts for products and services that you have really have no interest in. From time wasting games to X rated adult content, pop-up ads rarely advertise anything very worthy or interesting. If you know what we're talking about, then you have already been introduced to adware, or advertising supported software, as it is also known.

And while DealTotal pop-up ads are annoying, there's no doubt about that, if you have been unlucky enough to have gotten infected by a really nasty type of adware then, endless pop-ups aside, you may also be putting the security of your PC at risk. More about that in a moment but back to pop-ups adverts for a second because their main source of irritation lies in the fact that it doesn't matter how many times you click on them to close them, they will only reappear again almost instantly.

Why does adware exist and who creates it?

The main characteristic of DealTotal adware is that it has been designed to either display adverts on your screen, or download them onto your computer, whenever you are connected to the internet. You may also notice that, apart from the random websites shown in the pop-up windows, that many of the adverts you see are eerily aligned with goods or services that you have recently been browsing online. How do the adware programmers know what you've been looking at and therefore how do they know what ads by DealTotal to show you to try and entice you into clicking on them? That's where our friend spyware comes into the equation.

Remember when we said that it is more than just annoying? That's when it contains a spyware component. And, as you have probably guessed from the name, spyware is something that you really don't want on your computer. And that's because spyware has a few more tricks up its sleeve than simply displaying advertising.

Spyware will monitor you from afar and make a note of which websites you visit. It then records which products or services you are viewing on the sites and then send this data back to the adware's programmer – so that they can then tailor which adverts they show you to your specific tastes.

If it's already too late and your computer is infected with this adware and its relentless DealTotal advertisements, please follow the steps on the removal guide below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove TorqueChallenger Ads Malware (Uninstall Guide)

Remove TorqueChallenger Ads Malware (Uninstall Guide)

Adware

We're not going to even try and deny it: we are glued to our PCs and laptops more than ever before. As our lives become increasingly lived out online, from work to social media to apps that aim to help us make better use of our time (the irony!) there is just too much temptation contained in our devices. But the downside to that, as much as we want and need the internet, is that the more time we spend connected, the more we are putting ourselves in danger of being spammed by TorqueChallenger ads and similar malware.

And even if we are fortunate enough not to be caught in the web of a hacker, scammer or destructive malware user, there are still plenty of programs out there that can cause us more than a little annoyance. You know all about the malware that can plunder your bank account, destroy your data, or spam everybody in your email address book, but what about the programs like TorqueChallenger that fly under the radar and can still do you harm, but are not so widely publicized?

But what are these programs and what risks do they pose? In this instance we are going to take a look at TorqueChallenger adware as it's usually known as. It normally infects your device when you download a program or application that is made available for free – in other words, freeware. And while we all love something for nothing, the problem is that there are so many free and peer to peer file shares that do come packaged with adware.

How do you continue to download programs and apps without also downloading adware?

I know it can be oh so tempting to get trigger finger and start hitting the download button when you find the latest apps that everyone is talking about, or when the newest episode of your favorite TV show becomes available but the point where we get caught out is exactly that: our eagerness to get our hands on our must have, or must watch, program or file.

So you know how when you download something, you see the End User License Agreement? It's not the most exciting aspect of installing or downloading something is it? But that's where the problem lies because TorqueChallenger is normally mentioned in the wording in this agreement as an add-on program. However because the wording is often ambiguous that means that you really do need to take the time to read the text so you know exactly what you are about to download on to your computer. You will also need to look out for any check boxes too as the makers of advertising supporting software often pre-configure these so that you are fooled into downloading the TorqueChallenger adware.

So to conclude, if you don't want "Ads by TorqueChallenger" advertisements displayed on your PC AND you want to carry on taking advantage of all those lovely freebies that the internet has to offer, then you really do need to take the End User License Agreement a little more seriously.

If it's already too late and your computer is infected with this TorqueChallenger and its relentless advertisements, please follow the steps on the removal guide below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!

Remove "Ads by CouponJumbo" Adware (Uninstall Guide)

Remove "Ads by CouponJumbo" Adware (Uninstall Guide)

Adware

CouponJumbo or Coupon Jumbo is a type of computer program which main function is to display advertising "Ads by CouponJumbo" on your computer. However, not all variants of this adware has been created the same and there are a few different strains of this adware that you will come across as you browse the web.

Some adware is pretty easy to ignore and it won't have too much, if any, impact on your user experience or productivity. Yet there are some forms of adware like Coupon Jumbo that are a lot more intrusive and will quite possibly drive you nuts while you're trying to use your computer or phone. If you've been infected by the annoying type of adware – especially if it was on your work PC – then you'll know exactly what we are talking about when we call it irritating. In fact it doesn't matter if you use the internet primarily for watching sport, playing games, or shopping for shoes; having adware shoved down our throats shouldn't be something we have to deal with regardless of what we are doing.

Who designs adware – and why?

CouponJumbo is created, as you have probably guessed, to try and sell products to us. Just like any form of advertising. But that's not all, for not only does it benefit the company who owns the product or service that is being marketed to us, but it benefits the adware's creator too. That's because adware is also often used to generate income by a programmer who has developed some free software or an app. They then use the adware as a way to recoup the costs incurred during the development and marketing of the freebie. Coupon Jumbo adware can also be used as a means of driving traffic to a website to make the site look more popular than it actually is and help it attain a higher placing in search engine rankings.

But back to the annoyance factor that we mentioned earlier. The reason that this type of adware is such a nightmare is because it often manifests itself in the shape of pop up windows labeled "Ads by Coupon Jumbo" – and these can be a real pain in the you-know-where to deal with! No matter how many times you click on the red 'x' in the corner of the box to close it they will simply reappear.

Coupon Jumbo adverts of this nature are rarely for something that you would be interested in purchasing either – that is, unless you are in the market for some flakey diet pills or pornography, or want to lose a bunch of money playing online poker!

Even worse, because these pop-up windows can appear at any time, who knows what you'll be doing when one decides to show up and embarrass you. Watching cartoons on YouTube with the kids? Looking at a romantic getaway with your partner? Presenting to a room full of co-workers? The last thing you need is an advert (that won't go away!) for an X rated website pop up in the middle of your screen.

Adware is a real pain, so protect yourself by installing a decent anti-malware program today. If it's already too late and your computer is infected with this adware and its relentless "Ads by CouponJumbo" advertisements, please follow the steps on the removal guide below. If you have any questions, please leave a comment down below. Good luck and be safe online!
