What is Save Clicker?
The Save Clicker (or SaveClicker) potentially unwanted application generates intrusive coupon ads when visiting online shopping websites. Creators of this browser add-on state that Save Clicker can save time and money whilst shopping online by automatically displaying the lowest prices for chosen products.
Be aware, however, that this browser extension is categorized as adware and users are advised not to use this plugin. This add-on is promoted using a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling', thus, computer users often install it inadvertently without their consent when downloading or installing free software.
After successful infiltration, Save Clicker causes intrusive ads when visiting online shopping websites and tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording IP addresses, operating system information, and web pages visited.
Moreover, it diminishes Internet browser performance (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) and may disrupt the normal functioning of operating systems. At time of research, this potentially unwanted application was distributed via deceptive freeware 'download clients' and fake downloads (for example, fake Java downloads and fake browser updates).
Save Clicker is similar to other adware, which infiltrates browsers through free software downloads, including, for example, BestOffers, GetSav-in, and Charm Savings.
Be aware that browser extensions bundled with freeware downloads promise to enhance Internet browsing by adding various useful features, however, these plug-ins are often useless and their main purpose is to generate revenue from the display of intrusive ads.
To avoid installation of Save Clicker or any other potentially unwanted applications, be attentive when downloading and installing free software. When downloading, check each step and decline installation of any advertised browser extensions. Internet users who observe Save Clicker ads should use this removal guide to eliminate adware from their computers.
