DealMine is based on the JustPlugIt engine, which is advertised on a website named JustPlug.It. The developers of the engine provide advertising services. They customize their product to fit the advertisers’ seeds and give them full control over the adware, but we will get to this in a moment. The developers bundle their adware with malicious applications, such as Websearch.goodforsearch.info. They also make arrangements with various torrent websites and websites that distribute pirated software to feature a download button or an advertisement that will get adware, such as DealMine on someone’s computer.
Once that adware gets on your computer, it will begin displaying various pop-ups, and coupons. You warn you not to click such advertisements, because there is no way of knowing where you will be redirected. You should remove DealMine, because it might get you computer infected with very dangerous malicious programs, such as Trojans and rogue applications. On top of that, the application can use browser cookies to gather information about your browsing habits. It can collect information such as browsing history, browser settings, and so on. So you definitely do not want this kind of application on your computer.
Typically, adware applications, such as DealMine promote fake Java or Adobe update messages that are actually malware downloads. Other examples include promoting some kind of system utility or a registry cleaner. Better yet there could be advertisements that say that you computer is infected right there on your browser, and that you need to download this or that anti-malware tool to remove them. These are just a few typical examples, but you should not underestimate the creativity of dishonest advertisers. So you should remove DealMine from your PC in order to maintain good health of your system.
