If you’re experiencing irritating adverts that are messing with your browser, the cause might be SavingsCool

Many of you might have heard about SavingsCool and if not, then about some other similar piece of software. The truth is that, unfortunately, there are thousands such programs (called Adware) all over the internet, waiting to get on somebody’s computer just so that they could annoy the heck out of people. This is not an exaggeration, applications similar to SavingsCool have no higher purpose – they are all about making you want to throw your PC out of the window. Of course, this is not to say that such programs are utterly useless for their developers – it’s the exact opposite.

Surely, Adware has little to no useful value for the regular user, yet it is quite beneficial for the ones who have created it. As a matter of fact, a program that is considered Adware can generate tremendous amounts of money via the adverts it displays, provided that the program makes it to a big enough number of computers. Software of that type is notorious for the use of an income gaining method known as pay-per-click. This scheme allows the obstructive program to generate money for each click any of its pop-ups, banners and box messages receives. Having said all of this, it should be quite clear why Adware-generated adverts are so intrusive and annoying – after all it’s all about the profit and nothing else. It should be mentioned, though, that in order to make their products more appealing, some Adware developers might still integrate some kind of useful features within their, otherwise, rage-inducing software. Still, if you think that a certain program, regardless of its potential usefulness, is way too annoying for you to put up with it, then you can safely say that you’re dealing with adware. This why we have designed the below removal guide, which will help you successfully uninstall the irritating program.

Adware programs and potential harm

Even if you’re one of the many victims of an SavingsCool “infection”, it is important to know that there’s almost certainly no real need to worry – adware is nothing like the infamous Ransomware or Trojan Horses. While the latter are surely nasty pieces of coding, Adware such as SavingsCool usually cannot harm your system in any way. This is because programs of that type do not fall under the virus category. There’s a separate term used to describe unwanted programs such as Adware – the term we need to use here is PUP (potentially unwanted software). PUP’s are different from viruses and are, for the most part, simply annoying and not actually dangerous. Despite the fact that SavingsCool is obviously not a major threat to your virtual security, we need to make it clear that it may still expose your machine to certain threats if you’re not being careful. For instance, those ads you see everywhere might sometimes turn out to be links to sites that are illegal and harmful. Of course, this happens fairly rarely. However, it is still a real risk that should not be taken lightly. The best advice that we can give you here is to get rid of the unwanted program as soon as possible without interacting with any of the different pop-ups, banners and box messages that it displays on your screen.

How not to get any more Adware programs

Below the main part of the article, you can find all the information that you need in order to uninstall SavingsCool and remove any traces of it from your PC. However, before you get to that, take a few more minutes to get a general idea of how such programs get into people’s computers. This will help you avoid any future Adware infections. There are many methods used for the distribution of SavingsCool. Spam e-mails, hidden links, torrent and file-sharing sites, you name it. It’s all on the list of potential ways via which unwanted Adware can get inside your machine’s system. However, one method stands out with both its effectiveness and the fact that it is perfectly legal. We are talking about file-bundling. This method allows the intrusive program to get inside your computer by being bundled to some other program that you might install. Fortunately, this can be easily avoided. All you need to do is go for the advanced/custom installation settings next time you want to install some program. In those settings carefully look through the list of added installs and uncheck everything that seems suspicious and unwanted. After doing this, you can safely carry on with the installation of the program you wanted.

    • If you suspect that the issue might be coming from it, it’s probably better to remove it. It is highly likely that this is whats causing the unwanted ads.

    • You should probably delete them from the Hosts file. You can send them to us in the comments just to be sure that they are really not supposed to be in your system.

  • It says i can’t delete the file named (Default) in the savingscool folder because there is no value set

  • I haven’t been able to read the instructions because everytime I try, the pop up add shows up and says “Your computer is installed with 3 viruses” and it is telling me to download a “computer protection” program.

    • Can you access this page from another device? Also, do not fall for this message as it is likely a ruse.

  • When I try to uninstall the program from control panel, it redirects me to an apache website. And I never get to follow through with uninstalling the program.

    • Cannot be said for sure, try completing the rest of the guide and then go back to the Control Panel.

  • Never mind, i have got everything under control and i removed Savings cool and other malware/viruses that were on my computer using SpyHunter!
    Totally free too!
