Without my knowledge, "Dealsapps" appears whenever I use Google Search. Followed instructions on http://www.searchdealsapp.com/about.html; can't find what they say to delete. I'm very annoyed that Google installed this without my awareness.

While I'm here, AVG toolbar and SWEETpacks were installed without consent and I can't get rid of them either.

Thanks in advance.

hello, this sounds like a problem caused by adware on your pc. please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

Run Adwcleaner and Junkware removal tool scan. Also, disable proxy in your internet connection settings and/or browser. You got adware.
