Clip Clip Save Adware

What is Clip Clip Save?

Clip Clip Save is a deceptive browser extension claiming to save time and money while shopping online by generating coupons, notifying users of special deals/discounts available on various online stores, and enabling features such as comparison shopping.

By giving these fake promises, Clip Clip Save often tricks users into believing that it is legitimate and useful software. In fact, it is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This is due to Clip Clip Save's rogue behavior, which includes stealth installation without users' consent, tracking of Internet browsing activity, and display of intrusive online ads.

Clip Clip Save is developed to generate pop-up, coupon, banner, and other similar advertisements. To achieve this, developers employ a 'virtual layer', which enables placement of third party graphical content on any site. Users are often unaware that advertisements generated by Clip Clip Save do not originate from their visited websites.

By concealing underlying content, third party ads significantly diminish the Internet browsing experience. In addition, some redirect to malicious websites. There is a high probability that these sites will contain infectious content and, therefore, clicking these ads is risky and may lead to further adware or malware infections.

Be aware that Clip Clip Save continually tracks users' Internet browsing activity and gathers various user/system data. This information might be personally identifiable. The developers of Clip Clip Save share recorded data with third parties who can misuse personal information to generate revenue.

Thus, Clip Clip Save poses a direct threat to your privacy. You are strongly advised to uninstall this PUP immediately.

There are hundreds of rogue applications with identical characteristics to Clip Clip Save. For example, Tight Shoppers, FrameFox Shop, eDealMan, and Shopper-Pro also claim to save time and money. Nonetheless, these applications merely generate intrusive online advertisements and track personally identifiable information.

Their purpose is to generate revenue for the developers. Neither Clip Clip Save, nor any of the aforementioned apps, provide the functionality promised.

How did Clip Clip Save install on my computer?

This PUP is mostly distributed as a 'bundle' with other software. The developers know that many users do not express enough caution during the download and installation processes - they hide bogus applications within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings. Research shows that most users rush the download and installation processes and skip steps.

This often leads to inadvertent installation of rogue programs. In doing so, users expose their systems to risk of infection and put their privacy at risk.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

This situation can be prevented by closely analyzing the download/installation processes and declining all offers to download or install additional software. Closely analyze each step using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings and opt-out of all additionally-included apps, since they are likely to be rogue.
