Description of Help Save Ads
Help Save is a kind of browser extension that can come into your computer without your notice and permission. This extension can attach on all the browsers including Firefox browser, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, Yahoo, Bing, Opera. This extension can get into your computer along with the unknown email attachment, freeware software or updated program you download from the internet. It states that it can help you save money and time by offering you the cheapest products you want.
After Help Save installed on your computer successfully, it begins to do a train of malicious activities on your computer. It will change your browser setting. When you open your browser, it will run itself by replacing your homepage or opening in the new tab. It begins to display a lot of add-ons on the browser which largely slows down your browser performance. You will get a lot of pop up ads, banners and sponsor links from Help Save, which blocks you to use the browser normally. Usually, those ads-websites from Help Save may contain some malicious code or unwanted programs. If you click those links, you will easily get other infections downloaded. It is recommended to remove this extension as soon as possible.
