Do you know what WebSave is?
WebSave is an adware program that displays various coupons with discount deals when you access online shopping websites. Although the plug-in has its own home page at websaveres.info, the download link is not available at the website. Thus, according to computer researchers, rather than being distributed via official channels, WebSave usually arrives bundled with freeware and potentially unwanted applications. Hence, it is highly recommended to remove WebSave from your computer, as this application could expose you to a variety of computer security risks.
If you go to the official website, you are told that “Saving up is now easier than ever with the Web Save browser add-on”. Basically, WebSave is promoted as any other coupon adware application out there, saying that it will help you save money when you shop online, and with WebSave installed on your browser you will be provided with optimal deal offers, especially as this add-on is compatible with all main browsers.

In order to provide you with such information, WebSave needs to collect data on what websites you visit what you search online for most of the time. A lot of websites and plug-ins employ cookies to personalize web pages and commercials, and that is nothing illegal, but one cannot be sure about the security of the third party content WebSave provides you with. After all, this application cannot and does not review the advertisements content, because it is not covered by its privacy policy. Thus, if you click a coupon delivered by WebSave, you do it at your own risk, and if you get redirected to a suspicious website you will have no one else, but yourself to blame.
How to avoid WebSave? First, whenever you need to install a new software application, make sure that you download it from its official home page only. If you make use of third party websites and various downloaders (like EZDownloader, for example), there is a high chance that you will end up installing a list of other unwanted applications, and even browser hijackers on your computer!
Although WebSave is not an extremely dangerous application, you should not take any risks. Uninstall WebSave from your computer via Control Panel, and then remove it from Mozilla Firefox manually, because on this browser the add-on gets installed automatically, without any entry in the list of installed programs.
