DealBeaver is an adware program that displays a deals bar on ecommerce sites that shows prices for the same product at other sites. This bar will not be labeled as anything, but when you click on the question mark it will bring you to the about page for FoxyDeal.com.
When DealBeaver is installed it will install a Browser Helper Object for Internet Explorer, an addon for FireFox, and an extension for Chrome so that it can inject these comparative shopping bars into web sites. While this feature may be useful to some, while testing this adware I noticed that the browser would run slower and the page would be sluggish as you scroll.
Unfortunately, this adware does not utilize an uninstall entry in the Uninstall Programs control panel. This can make it difficult to remove, especially for Internet Explorer users who do not have advanced computer skills.
How did DealBeaver get installed on my computer?
It is important to note that DealBeaver is installed by other programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced 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 cancel the install and not use the free software.
While DealBeaver may be helpful to some, since it changes the normal appearance of some web sites, may affect web browsing performance, and does not provide an easy uninstall procedure, it is my opinion that it should be removed. To remove DealBeaver and potentially other installed adware, you can use the removal guide below to remove it for free.
