There is nothing new or special about the SaveitKeep browser add-on as it is simply another ad-supported extension that will flood your screen with numerous ads while you are surfing the web. This add-on is actually rather old considering the fact that tons of similar plug-ins are created every day. Still, it is not less intrusive than them, neither are its ads less annoying or potentially dangerous.

How did I get infected with?

The SaveitKeep add-on used to be promoted at saveitkeep.info, however, the web page is no longer active. Even if it was, the extension would still be distributed mainly through dubious methods such as software bundling. Using this method, unreliable applications get installed on the PC of unsuspecting users as additional programs. This happens when they download freeware from corrupted file sharing websites as the applications found on such websites are always packed with extra software. To avoid such bundled apps, you should only rely on official sources when it comes to acquiring software.

Why are these ads dangerous?

SaveitKeep is supposed to be a tool helping users save money when shopping on the Internet. The add-on will generate discount offers and coupons every time you visit an online store. However, you should not be fooled by the seemingly useful shopping offers because their content will probably not be safe. The reason for this is the connection between SaveitKeep and third-party advertising servers which provide the content that the extension inserts into the ads. This content is nether reviewed nor supervised, which makes it potentially dangerous. Staying away from the ads will guarantee that you do not land on malicious websites, and deleting SaveitKeep is what you have to do to make sure you will not click an ad by accident.
