GreatSaver is a Potentially Unwanted Program that may cause a wide variety of issues on affected Web browsers. GreatSaver is distributed as a helpful Web browser extension that allows computer users to find discounts, coupons and special deals online. However, malware researchers have noted that GreatSaver does not deliver on its promise, causing numerous problems that clearly not worth the trouble of installing GreatSaver on a Web browser. GreatSaver may cause system performance issues, takes over the victim's Web browser and may endanger a computer user's privacy. Because of this, GreatSaver should be removed immediately from an affected Web browser using a reliable security application.

Recognizing the Problems that May Be Linked to GreatSaver
GreatSaver is used to profit from advertising revenue by causing a huge variety of trouble on the affected Web browser. Security researchers have received reports of the following symptoms associated with GreatSaver:
- GreatSaver may take over the affected Web browser, causing browser redirects. These types of symptoms are associated usually with PUPs known as browser hijackers because they effectively hijack the victim's Web browser and use it for their own purposes. GreatSaver may force computer users to visit certain websites repeatedly. Using browser redirects, a third party may lead computer users to a website where their computers may be infected with potentially unsafe content or where the computer user is exposed to advertising material that generates revenue according to the number of people that have viewed it or clicked on it.
- GreatSaver also displays advertising content directly on the victim's Web browser. GreatSaver is associated with pop-up windows that may disrupt a computer user's experience with advertising material or with bogus error messages that could be used to install other PUPs on the affected computer. GreatSaver may also add advertising material to websites viewed on the affected Web browser, such as intrusive banner advertisements or in-text links.
- GreatSaver may make unauthorized changes to the affected Web browser's settings. For example, a common symptom associated with GreatSaver is that this PUP changes Web browsers' homepages and search engines.
