“Ads by Nitrodeal” (as known as Nitrodeal Ads) is a browser add-on that can change browser setting as soon as it is installed and affect the proper functioning on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari. The program says it can help users find the best deals from e-commerce stores and allow them to compare prices of the goods they are interested in, or get the best deals and promotions from different online stores, but the statement is not true. This adware cannot provide any available or helpful services, instead it just can bring troubles for computer users. It can modify browser settings and give users a large number of annoying pop-up ads to disturb their online activities. Even though those annoying pop-up windows show you ‘Close’ option, but when you click on it, it does nothing help but just redirects you to malicious webpages that promote unwanted programs or contain malware and spyware. Adware can escape from security programs, therefore we suggest PC users get rid of it manually instead.
