DealPlug is not a serious computer infection, but it is still an application you should not trust. The program is classified as adware and is one of many promising to improve your online shopping experience with coupons and deals. Instead, DealPlug will flood your browser with unreliable ads you should refrain from clicking on. It would be best if you delete DealPlug as it will not benefit you in any way, and might even be responsible for serious damages to your system.

How did I get infected with DealPlug?

An application like DealPlug is not likely to be promoted officially, so chances are that you did not install it willingly. It is possible that the program appeared on your computer after you have clicked a random ad on a third-party website. These ads usually promote fake program updates, so every time you click on one and install the suggested software, you will initiate the installation of unwanted applications. DealPlug could also enter your PC alongside free apps downloaded from unreliable websites. In this case, you let the unwanted program in your system because you do not disable its setup while installing the chosen app.

Why are DealPlug ads dangerous?

As a typical adware program, DealPlug displays online advertisements whenever you surf the web. These advertisements are the reason why applications like DealPlug are considered to be potentially dangerous. The ads may be generated by DealPlug but actually belong to third-party advertisers who want to promote their dubious products and services. Clicking on any of the ads displayed by the application may result in acquiring a number of other potentially unwanted programs or even infecting your system with malware. Therefore, deleting DealPlug is what you have to do to protect your PC.
