Known Online Tactics that may be Associated with MySafeSavings

Although MySafeSavings seems fairly innocuous, MySafeSavings may be associated with several online tactics that may lead to further issues down the line. Below are some known tactics that may be connected in some way to MySafeSavings or symptoms associated with this PUP:

MySafeSavings may display pop-up messages claiming that it is necessary to call a phone number for technical support because of a severe issue on your computer. When computer users call these numbers, they may be asked to give away their credit card information or other information, as well as allowing the fraudsters to gain access to their computers under the guise of a 'technical support' or 'maintenance.'
MySafeSavings may be linked to irritating pop-up windows and notifications that may try to convince the computer users that software on their PCs is outdated. In most cases, these pop-ups may try to convince the computer user to download and install a supposed update, which may be an additional PUP. In some cases, these supposed updates may even be threatening, or contain components such as Trojan downloaders or keyloggers. Beware of supposed updates to Adobe Flash or Java.
Pop-up advertisements and redirects associated with MySafeSavings may try to convince computer users to download and install fake system optimizers or rogue security software. These programs all operate by first claiming that the user's computer is infected with threats or has some error and then asking the computer user to 'upgrade' to a licensed or full version to remove these supposed problems.

Despite the way in which it is marketed, MySafeSavings may not be a legitimate program, and its main goal is to function as a delivery vehicle for additional tactics or questionable software. In most cases, symptoms associated with MySafeSavings may become so troublesome that the affected computer may become nearly impossible to use. However, you should remember that MySafeSavings itself is not considered threatening, even if it may lead to more severe kinds of problems eventually.
