I just found a new\u00a0<strong>adware<\/strong> named <strong>UniDeals<\/strong> and wanted to give you some <strong>removal instructions<\/strong>. UniDeals appears to be a variant of <a title=\"Remove Ads by Unisales \u2013  Adware Removal Instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-ads-by-unisales-adware-removal-instructions\/\"><strong>UniSales<\/strong><\/a> that I&#8217;ve blogged about before. If UniDeals is installed on your computer, you&#8217;ll notice new add-ons installed into <strong>Firefox<\/strong> and <strong>Internet Explorer<\/strong>, called UniSales and <a title=\"YouTubeAdBlocke \u2013 Removal Instructions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/remove-youtubeadblocke\/\">YouTubeAdBlocker<\/a>\u00a0and a new extension installed into <strong>Chrome<\/strong>, with a name that appears to change with each install.

Bundling means that software is included in other software&#8217;s installers. This is how UniDeals was disclosed in the installer when I found it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-installer.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4402\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-installer.png\" alt=\"UniDeals installer\" width=\"470\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-installer.png 470w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-installer-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Generally, you can avoid bundled software such as UniDeals by being careful when installing software and declining the bundled offers in the installer.<\/p>\n<p>As usual when I stumble upon some new bundled software I uploaded it to <a title=\"How To Scan a File for Viruses with VirusTotal\" href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/scan-files-for-viruses-virustotal\/\">VirusTotal<\/a> to verify if the anti-virus scanners there find anything suspicious. Only 2 of the anti-malware scanners detected the UniDeals file. Avira reports UniDeals as <strong>ADWARE\/MultiPlug.Gen4<\/strong> and ESET-NOD32 calls it <strong>a variant of Win64\/Adware.MultiPlug.F<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-VirusTotal.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4405\" src=\"http:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-VirusTotal.png\" alt=\"UniDeals VirusTotal\" width=\"675\" height=\"290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-VirusTotal.png 675w, https:\/\/www.freefixer.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/UniDeals-VirusTotal-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the others will catch up in the next days.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do to remove UniDeals is to check the UniDeals files in the scan result and click the Fix button. A reboot of your machine may be required to complete the removal.
