About CoinSave adware

Even though it’s described as useful application that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, deals and commercial offers, this is not true. The problem is that all those offers come in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

We don’t recommend to click on any of those advertisements displayed by CoinSave because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can be infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money this way. This being said, if you keep CoinSave installed on your computer, cyber criminals will be able to reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.
