Where does FinDeals come from?
FinDeals belongs to a big adware family commonly known as the Lyrics adware. The name comes from the first few applications in the group that were supposed to display lyrics on YouTube videos. With time, the adware family expanded its profile, and the likes of Looka Deal, BetterOnlineDeals, and other online shopper-oriented applications were released. As you can obviously tell, FinDeals belongs to the latter type of adware.
This program has an official website that you can access via findeals.net. This website looks identical to Looka Deals’ homepage. It proves that the programs belong to the same family. However, it is not possible to download FinDeals from the website. It is not surprising because adware apps from this group are known to be distributed bundled with freeware and other adware applications. The “usual suspects” include Jollywallet, Xtendmedia, Ad.Yieldmanager, and so on. To put it simply, if you have FinDeals on your PC, there’s a good chance that you have a horde of other unwanted software as well.
What does FinDeals do?
Technically, FinDeals is supposed to help you find cheaper deals online. This application is compatible with all main browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer), and you should not be surprised to see a lot of annoying ads on your screen when you browse the Internet.
In order to display those ads, FinDeals collects data on your web browsing history. It does that by employing tracking cookies. Once enough data is collected, FinDeals starts displaying ads that might seem to be related to your likes and preferences.
However, you will do yourself a favor if you refrain from clicking any of the FinDeals ads. The application cannot guarantee that these ads are embedded with safe links. On top of that, clicking an ad might redirect you to an affiliated website, but FinDeals explicitly states that the security of partner websites is subject to partner’s privacy policy.
