What is Bonanza Deals? And how does it function?

Bonanza Deals is an ad-supported program or adware that delivers users with tons of ads. Though Bonanza is a legitimate service which is similar to eBay where users have to register and create an account before they can proceed with selling their items on the Bonanza website, if you suddenly noticed a sudden increase of ads whenever you browse the web that is mostly “bonanza deals”, chances are, you are infected with adware.
As soon as the ad-supported program enters the system, it will make modifications in the system, specifically by changing the default settings of the browsers in the computer. These changes affect the default home page, new tab URL, and even the search provider. In most cases, Bonanza Deals drops add-ons on Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari and other browsers. So when users browse the web they’ll start seeing a bunch of ads that mostly consists of discounts, coupons, offers and deals in the online shopping website. You have to be careful though – some of these ads can be quite misleading in a way that it redirects you to websites that are suspicious such as phishing websites that will try to obtain your personal information in the guise of a survey. Thus, Bonanza Deals can’t be trusted and could only lead you to potential security and privacy issues if you keep it installed on your computer.
