What is Shop4deals-search.com?

Shop4deals-search.com is a website that works as a search engine. It even uses the help of Google to deliver relevant search results.

But Shop4deals-search.com lacks useful features. It allows people to type in search queries and delivers results, but it gives users no way of filtering the results based on language, location, date, or even result type.

In addition, Shop4deals-search.com shows a few too many ads for some queries (other queries produce no ads at all). Sometimes, my Chrome browser removed the ad, stopping it from being displayed. But often, the ads were displayed for sites like Dlnow.co or Zapmeta.ws. The search results shown by Shop4deals-search.com are not as relevant as they should be and many of the ads are not relevant, too. Zapmeta especially is just an advertising site that promotes browser hijackers and various unwanted programs that should be avoided.

It’s important to note that Shop4deals-search.com, or Shop4deals.com, is different from Shop4deals.co.za. Shop4deals-search.com offers affiliate links to various websites and functions as a search engine, no more than that. It’s related to Affinity, an advertising company.

Being made by an advertising company, Shop4deals-search.com collects data about its users for the purpose of displaying relevant ads.

What causes Shop4Deals redirects?

Shop4deals-search.com is a website, so it simply exists out there. If your browser ever opens it unexpectedly, then this must be because of your browser settings or because of a browser extension. This is how most search hijackers work: Tailsearch.com redirects are caused by browser extensions, Searchmarquis.com – by malicious apps.

Another concern is browser notifications. These are little pop-ups that appear in a corner or the top of your screen. They’re messages sent by websites to your browser. They can be used by websites to let you know about new important events, such as items in your inbox. But some sites use them to send you ads – and this is also mentioned in Shop4deals-search.com’s privacy policy. If you’re getting unwanted messages from Shop4deals-search.com, Shop4deals.com, or another site, this is happening because of a setting in your browser.

So, browser extensions and browser settings can cause unwanted redirects to sites like Shop4deals-search.com. But you likely didn’t set your browser up that way. Shop4deals-search.com might be advertised by other search engines, besides, extensions and notifications can easily be spread in ways that cause people to accept them accidentally and unintentionally.
