Specialists would not give users such a piece of advice if they did not know about the dangers adware can cause. Recent research has shown that Total Deal Search might present users with links and advertisements which can redirect to unreliable pages, so keeping this piece of software on the computer might result in the emerge of security-related problems. On top of that, it is clearly stated in its Privacy Policy document that it might start gathering information that can identify users personally.

Total Deal Search is not a typical adware program. Once it is installed on the computer or enters the system together with other applications, it immediately sets a new page as a New Tab URL on browsers. For the time being, it is compatible with Google Chrome only, so users notice changes applied to this browser only. Of course, it does not mean that a version working on all web browsers cannot be released in the future. The page Total Deal Search sets contains coupons which supposedly should help users save some money. Users should also be informed about deals and sales at certain online shopping stores. On top of that, there is a search box in the middle of the page. Although it works well, i.e. returns search results for users when they enter a search query, it might be a really bad idea to use it as a default search tool, according to specialists working at pcthreat.com. It is because all web searches performed via this search box are redirected to http://api-client.mobitech-search.xyz/. This search engine is developed by Mobitech, and it definitely cannot be called trustworthy. As a consequence, users might mainly see sponsored search results. In most cases, they are shown to users to get the pay-per-click revenue for their every click, so it might be true that the main purpose of Total Deal Search is to generate money for its developer as well. Since it is not the most reliable application for online shoppers, its deletion is highly recommended. Once it is gone, you could install a reputable program with even more useful features in its place.

Malware analysts do not like what they have found in the Privacy Policy document belonging to Total Deal Search. At first, users are informed that personal information is not going to be collected by this application, but they find out quickly if they continue reading this document that it “reserves the right to collect personally identifiable information from Users in a variety of ways”, which suggests that it might start collecting information that can personally identify users in the near future. Delete it today in order not to experience privacy-related problems anytime soon.

An official website of Total Deal Search has been discovered, but users keep reporting that this program has entered their PCs illegally because they cannot explain when and how it has shown up on their computers. Researchers cannot confirm that this application sneaks illegally onto computers, but they are sure that the bundling method is used to spread it.
