Remove eDealMan Ads from Chrome/Firefox/IE

Can’t Remove eDealMan ads? This page includes detailed ads by eDealMan Removal instructions!

The name eDealMan may suggest a useful, practical, perfectly safe online application. However, that’s all that this parasite is not. Hackers love to advertise their adware-type programs as something they aren’t and, unfortunately, eDealMan isn’t the great exception of that rule. As we established, this is a classic representative of the pesky adware family (and it’s also classified as a potentially unwanted program – PUP), so its trickery is neither original, nor unexpected. And yet, this virus is not something you need in your life. Why not? Well, for one thing, it’s a computer virus. Since the very moment it tricks you into installing it till the very moment your patience can’t deal with its shenanigans anymore and you delete it, eDealMan is nothing but a nuisance. Even though it’s supposed to enhance your browsing experience by displaying coupons, discounts, best prices and best deals, it does the exact opposite behind your back. Adware infections were designed to generate Web traffic and help hackers gain revenue, not to make your online shopping experience any better. Which leads us to the nasty conclusion that eDealMan’s empty promises about being beneficial simply can’t be kept, no matter how much time this nasty piece of malware spends on your PC. All that eDealMan does is bombard you with advertisements, expose you to serious privacy threats, serve as a convenient backdoor to a whole bunch of other infections, slow down your machine and modify your browser settings without even bothering to ask for your permission. Long story short, this thing has to go. If you haven’t had to deal with adware-type parasites so far, it’s highly recommended that you go through the entire article first before you proceed to uninstalling eDealMan. Don’t be naive. The sooner you get rid of this pest, the better.

How did I get infected with?

The most urgent question any PC user in your situation asks is “How did I get infected with a virus”? Okay, think about it for a second. Despite being a nasty cyber parasite, eDealMan is still a PC program that needs to be properly installed in order to start messing with your machine. That means at some point in the recent past this virus somehow managed to get permission to land on the computer. Now, you don’t necessarily have to know that you’re giving green light to a parasite. Being masters in the art of deceit, adware-type programs usually use secretive and sneaky techniques to get downloaded. For example, you might be interested to know that most freeware/shareware bundles that unverified websites offer, include at least one parasite as a bonus. However, does this kind of a bonus sound like a good idea? The eDealMan infection usually relies on your negligence during the installation process so if you don’t pay enough attention to the software you install, don’t be shocked when you encounter its sly presence on your PC system. To avoid that, make sure you’ve selected the Custom/Advanced option in the Setup Wizard beforehand so you could spot any potential intruder. Also, don’t forget to read the EULA (End User License Agreement) as well as the Terms and Conditions of what you’re currently installing. The key to your own security is your own caution so keep in mind that your attention WILL pay off in the long run.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Having in mind that eDealMan comes for free, you should already know that its creators need to find some other monetizing system to generate revenue. Here is where the ads come in handy. Once the parasite gets installed, it adds a malicious browser extension to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer so it injects them with commercials. Those include pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, banners, hyperlinks, video ads, etc. and, as we mentioned, they are all unreliable. The nasty eDealMan ads are sponsored so generating them helps hackers gain money. And when it comes to money, crooks tend to become incredibly dishonest. The parasite doesn’t discriminate between safe, corrupted and fake commercials so you have equal chances to click on all three kinds. No need to explain to you in detail how dangerous this is, right? You’ll either end up on some compromised website filled with malware or some questionable page full of non-existent products and cyber scams. You see, it’s just not worth it. Apart from the numerous dangers the pile of eDealMan advertisements brings along, you should also know that all these links are difficult to remove and very intrusive. The program’s compatibility with your browsers makes your task of avoiding the ads that much harder and the only way to get rid of the advertisements is by getting rid of the parasite that caused them. Also, the eDealMan pest is known to be stealing your browsing-related information and it goes without saying that may include some personally-identifiable data as well. Hackers will not think twice before they sell your sensitive information to third parties which means your private data will be no longer private. That includes mainly passwords, usernames, browsing history, email addresses, IP addresses and so on but due to the parasite’s sneaky ways identity theft becomes a possibility too. Having malware on your PC is a bad thing already but having your browsing habits monitored and having your personal information sent to some highly unreliable greedy hands is a whole other danger. In addition, the PC speed will be slowed down considerably so using the machine in general becomes quite a challenge. Have you had it with eDealMan?
