What is BestSaveForYou?
BestSaveForYou is a potentially unwanted browser extension claiming to save time and money while shopping online - "Don't waste time browsing through every online shopping site just to get the latest news on the hottest deals. Now you can just sit comfortably in your seats and just let the BestSaveForYou shopping browser add-on do it's magic."
These false promises are used to trick users into believing that apps such as BestSaveForYou are legitimate and useful.
In fact, this extension is categorized as adware. Once BestSaveForYou successfully infiltrates the Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox browsers, it delivers intrusive online advertisements and collects information relating to users' Internet browsing habits.
This bogus add-on displays various types of intrusive online advertisements including coupon, pop-up and search ads, and fake software update update messages. To achieve this, developers of BestSaveForYou employ a virtual layer, which enables placement of any graphical content on visited websites.
The displayed ads diminish the Internet browsing experience by concealing underlying content, and may also redirect to rogue sites containing infectious content. Thus, clicking them can lead to further computer infections. This plug-in continually monitors Internet browsing activity, collecting various user/system information that may contain personally identifiable details.
The collected data may include IP addresses (to determine geolocations), websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, etc. This gathered information is later shared with third parties and can be misused to generate revenue - a situation that can lead to privacy issues. For the above reasons, you are strongly advised to eliminate this threat immediately.
BestSaveForYou is just one of many applications offering such features. Hundreds of other adware-type apps also claim to save time and money while shopping online. For example, DownSave, SmartSaver, AllCheapPrice, and Shopper For Torch. These apps promise useful functionality, however, this is only to give the impression of legitimate and useful functionality.
Neither BestSaveForYou, nor any other adware-type apps, provide users with any significant value. Applications such as BestSaveForYou are designed to generate revenue by displaying ads and collecting personally identifiable information.
How did BestSaveForYou install on my computer?
The developers of this PUP employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to install BestSaveForYou without users' permission. Bundling is stealth installation of additional programs together with the chosen software. As many users do not express enough caution when downloading and installing software, bundling applications is extremely effective.
The developers are aware that users often rush the download and installation processes, skipping most/all steps. Therefore, developers intentionally conceal installation of bogus applications within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings.
Unaware of this, users commonly rush the download and installation processes, thereby exposing their systems to risk of infection and inadvertently installing rogue applications such as BestSaveForYou.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
Pay close attention when downloading and installing software. Carefully follow both processes, declining offers to download/install additional programs. In addition, use the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings - this will reveal any concealed bogus applications listed for installation and enable you to cancel them.
