Generous Deal Ads Removal Guide
Generous Deal is a browser hijacker program from the Adware.BrowseFox family that hijacks your browser's default search engine and installs addons and extensions that inject advertisements in web pages and search results. Generous Deal is able to do this through browser addons and extensions that allow it to inject advertisements into the search results on search engines such as Google and Yahoo. These advertisements will be labeled as Generous Deal ads and will show advertisements related to the keyword you searched for.
Generous Deal will also modify the default search provider of your browser so that it first connects to http://searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net/, which then redirects you to Yahoo where it will display its ads. Last, but not least, this hijacker will install a desktop search button that when clicked on allows you to search directly from your desktop. Just like the browser search, this too will redirect you through sites under their control until eventually showing you the search results in Yahoo.
It is important to note that the Generous Deal is bundled with and installed by free programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay close attention to license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers youÂ*CustomÂ*orÂ*AdvancedÂ*installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you immediately cancel the install and not use the free software.
Without a doubt, the Generous Deal hijacker is designed purely to generate ads for the developer. As it does not provide any extra benefit than you normally would have from your browser or Windows, it is suggested that you remove it from your computer. Please use this guide to remove all remnants of the Generous Deal hijacker and any other related programs.
