Giant Savings is an adware program that shows coupon advertisements on the hacked web browser. Giant Savings shows random offers and saving coupons that permit computer users to save money when purchasing products online. A pop-up of Giant Savings can be easily spotted because it is mainly put on the top-left corner of the browser window, which involves offers. If clicked on an offer, a PC user turns on his/her savings for the said products or services and a message of 'Congratulations, your coupon has been activated' is shown. If PC users visit insecure websites or download files from a third-party server, they may be urged to download allegedly essential software before they can continue. Computer users may be duped into downloading and installing Giant Savings onto their PCs. Giant Savings is distributed via infectious program downloads. Giant Savings installs its add-ons on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome.
