GetSavin Adware

What is GetSavin?

The GetSavin browser add-on is developed by Adpeak Inc. and promises to enhance computer users' Internet browsing experience by providing notifications of available coupons and deals when shopping online.

This functionality may seem useful, however, the GetSavin browser add-on is known to install on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla FireFox) without users' consent. Computer users report that they observe GetSavin coupon ads even though they did not install this browser plug-in.

This situation may occur if users download and install free software from the Internet. GetSavin uses a deceptive marketing method called 'bundling', and thus, many users install this browser add-on unwillingly.

Computer users wishing to avoid unwilling installation of browser plug-ins, should always closely check each freeware installation step, opting-out of any additional software installation. Always use the 'Custom Installation', rather than, 'Typical Installation' option when installing free software and disallow any suggested changes to your browser homepage, default search engine settings, etc.

GetSavin is not technically a computer virus, however, this browser add-on causes unwanted coupon and in-text ads. If you have unwillingly installed this browser plug-in, it is recommended that you remove it from your computer immediately.

The most common source of a potentially unwanted program (PUP) such as GetSavin is download websites, which employ download clients in the process of free software downloading.

These download clients and installers offer installation of additional software, and if users do not pay close attention to the installation steps, they may easily end up installing various adware and unwanted programs on their Internet browsers.

The GetSavin PUP is similar to other unwanted browser extensions, which display coupon ads and cause various security and privacy-related issues.

These extensions include Special Savings, Browse to Save, and many others. If you feel that the GetSavin browser add-on was installed on your computer without your consent, use the removal instructions provided to eliminate unwanted coupon ads.
