Slikdealer.com virus - How to remove

Slikdealer.com virus is combination of a browser hijacker and an adware parasite. Our team of researchers has recently investigated a very similar variant called Alphashoppers.co infection. Officially, both of these browser extensions are meant to provide you with the top shopping and coupon deals online. It is described as safe and easy to use. It is indicated that users will be able to click on quick links to major coupons and cash-back providers. In fact, we have also written an article about another products by these developers: Offerschasers.com virus.

Aztec Media Inc., a Cyprus-based company, is the owner of Slikdealer.com hijacker. The name of this company is noticed in many of our articles, discussing various types of malware, but mostly browser hijackers. Aztec Media is also responsible for 4newtab.com and Search.linkeymac.com parasites. In fact, these shady developers have been generating rogue software ever since 2013, when we detected their first malicious software: Default-search.net.

Slikdealer New Tab and SlikDealer-D extensions will assign Slikdealer.com as browsers’ preferences

During installation of Slikdealer New Tab and Slikdealer-D toolbars, users will have to give these add-ons some permissions. They will be permitted to read and change content on all visited websites, modify browsers’ preferences, and manage browsing history. Since these products are created by an unreliable company, you should not give them the privilege of controlling your browser (What does a Browser Hijacker Do to Your Browser?).

If you have installed any of these Google Chrome extensions, you should get rid of them as soon as possible. If not, results to search queries will be filled with sponsored links. Most of them will be indicated as “ads” and will be seen right at the top of generated results. By clicking on them, you are helping Aztec Media profit from pay-per-click schemes. Since most of the generated content might be unreliable, malware-laden or simply poor-quality, we hope that you will not feel encouraged to utilize Slikdealer.com virus. Identical strategies are implemented by Shopperstab.com infection.

We have mentioned a few parasites that have been introduced by the same developers who generated Slikdealer.com hijacker. The list of Aztec Media’s products is pretty long: Safeforsearch.net, Mytab.club, Mystart.space and many others. None of them are considered worthy of your attention: please use alternative search engines to explore the Internet.

Thru Slikdealer.com virus, many merchant partners will be able to have a platform to display their deals, coupons, discounts and other similar material. Some of this content could not only be presented in results to search queries, but also in pop-ups, banners or other forms. Some of these online advertisements might not be as reliable as you would expect them to be: they could trick you into exposing your credit card information or deceive you into purchasing a very fraudulent item (https://grok.lsu.edu/article.aspx?articleid=17107).

Furthermore, Ads by Slikdealer are not the only issue. The service is also going to work with activity tracking and monitoring tools. It is indicated that non-personally identifiable information might be freely shared with third-parties in order to provide services, facilitate them, measure their performance, optimize, improve, monetize and forth.

How did these annoying browser extensions manage to bring Slikdealer.com virus?

If you are seeing Slikdealer.com virus as your preference, then it is very likely that you have installed one of the browser toolbar that bring this infection. Please check the list of active add-on. If you find Slikdealer New Tab or Slikdealer-D, please remove them from the list. However, the unwanted searching tool or online advertisements could still bother you.

For this reason, we kindly provide you with an alternative method for removal. We recommend our readers to run a scan with Spyhunter. This anti-malware tool will find all malicious parasites in your computer and will make sure that they would no longer compromise your safety. Since hackers are constantly exploring new techniques to infect you with malware, it is crucial to have an anti-malware tool installed.
