How did I get infected with?

The WhiteDeals adware is a very sneaky infection and as such it employs deceptive distribution methods to get installed on targeted computers. One method preferred by most of the developers of adware is software bundling. It is preferred because it is most commonly spread and users tend to fall for it easily. The software bundling involves silent installation of additional programs, which means that WhiteDeals and other similar applications are attached to the installers of free apps and get installed on the system together with them. That does not happen silently as the particular user is informed by the setup wizard about all additional software that is going to be installed. The user is also given a choice whether to accept it or not, however, they usually miss that opportunity because they select the quicker installation option and hurry through the setup steps. Do not make that mistake next time you acquire freeware so that the installation of WhiteDeals or other similar apps can be prevented.
