Savings Slider Pop-up Ads

What is Savings Slider?

Savings Slider is an invasive browser extension created by 215 Apps (Innovative Apps). This browser add-on claims to save time and money when shopping online by displaying coupon ads when users visit shopping websites such as Amazon, eBay, etc. Note that while Savings Slider may appear legitimate and useful, many Internet users refer to it as the Savings Slider virus.

This association is made since this plug-in often installs on users' Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla FireFox) without their consent and is 'bundled' with free software downloaded from the Internet. Furthermore, this add-on collects users' Internet surfing data, which may then be sold to third parties.

The main source of unwanted installations by Savings Slider are dubious download websites, which use 'download clients' in order to offer additional software (including browser add-ons and toolbars).

The majority of computer users do not pay close enough attention to the installation steps of freeware, and thus, install potentially unwanted programs (PUPs). Note that Savings Slider is categorized as adware and users are recommended to remove this extension from their Internet browser/s.

Savings Slider causes privacy issues and diminished Internet browser performance. This adware is similar to many other coupon ads-related browser extensions developed by 215 Apps such as Tiger Savings, Savings Addon, many others. To avoid installation of Savings Slider and other adware, Internet users should inspect each installation step of free software.

When installing freeware, choose the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option and disallow installation of additional software. To remove Savings Slider, use the removal guide provided.
