Save by Click Adware

What is Save by Click?

The Save by Click browser add-on displays coupon deals and special offers when Internet users visit online shopping websites. This browser extension is categorized as adware for two reasons:

1) in most cases it is bundled with free software downloaded from the Internet (thus computer users inadvertently install this add-on), and; 2) it displays unwanted ads and collects users' Internet browsing information. This browser extension is similar to other coupon deal add-ons such as Drop Down Deals, Deal Ply, PriceGong, etc.

Save by Click installs on Internet Explorer, Mozilla FireFox, and the Google Chrome Internet browsers.

To avoid installation of unwanted browser extensions, computer users should express caution when installing freeware - free software downloaded from the Internet is commonly bundled with various browser extensions and toolbars in order to monetize the programs.

Note that the Save by Click developers earn revenue for each purchase made through their ads. Whilst the Save by Click browser add-on is not technically a computer virus or malware infection, it is an unwanted browser extension. Therefore, if you feel that you have not willingly installed this software, it is highly recommended that you remove it from your computer.

While some users consider Save by Click useful, its methods of auto-installation without the users' consent and tracking of Internet browsing habits, categorize it as an unwanted browser add-on.
