Free games, shopping deals, financial software and PC optimization tools. You will see all sorts of discounts, offers, and coupons for items that you actually want. This is not a coincidence. The adware knows what you are interested in. How? By spying on you of course. The Sax.perfonspot.com utility monitors your browser related data. It knows which pages you have visited, what search inquiries you have made, which links you have followed.
