Shine Saver Ads

By GoldSparrow in Adware

Computer users that like to download and install free applications from third parties available at the Web may get an invitation to load a program named Shine Saver since it can allegedly be a great helper to online shoppers. Although the installation of Shine Saver is optional, many users might agree to its installation unknowingly, when they don't pay attention to additional applications that may be included on the free software they are downloading. Also, Shine Saver may not offer all the help the computer user expects because its goal is to promote its sponsored websites. Shine Saver does display a large quantity of advertisements but, to make these advertisements more appealing, Shine Saver may collect data from your computer to help to build them. Another adverse effect caused by the presence of the Shine Saver advertisements is the large amount of system resources Shine Saver may spend while displaying it. The lack of system resources may make your machine slower and susceptible to crashes. Shine Saver by itself doesn't present a threat to your computer. However, the problems it may create is what makes security researchers to advise its immediate removal, preferably using a proper malware removal product.
