DealGest

What is DealGest?

DealGest is an web browser advertisement extension that delivers ads to the user's web browser. Ads are in the form of traditional banners as well as context-hyper links. Ads delivered are injected on any web page the software decides to include it on and not just those affiliated with the software or its affiliates. The ads are not affiliated nor endorsed by the underlying websites on which they appear. The program periodically connects with its remote servers to download new ad feeds and will report back the domains and URLs the user visits as well as the links and advertisements the user clicks on while browsing the web.

From the EULA:
"During the install process, you will be given an option to allow DealGest Deals to become your default search engine and/or your default home page. If you consent to make DealGest Deals your home page, DealGest Deals will become your default home page that will appear each time you open your Internet browser. If you consent to make DealGest Deals your default search engine, your Internet browser default search engine will be set to DealGest Deals. You will be using DealGest Deals web search services when you enter queries in your browser search box, when you enter queries in your browser address bar, and when you enter misspelled, incorrectly formatted, or unresolved DNS submissions in your browser address bar."
