Note that it is common practice for free software developers and popular download websites to bundle their programs or downloads with third party browser add-ons. This is to monetize incoming web traffic.

Note that Save Valet is not technically considered a computer virus, however, its deceptive promotion methods categorize this add-on as adware.
