Majestic Savings - How to remove

Majestic Savings is malicious program classified as an adware that gets installed onto computers without users’ knowledge. Once installed it starts to show lots of annoying and disturbing ads on web browsers. It is a browser add-on and can be added on all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari.

Once installed it will start to display various ads on your computer, such as pop-ups, banner-type ads, underlined keywords and even search ads in your search results window. Majestic Savings generates web traffic to third parties websites and collects sales leads. They make money that way. You should not click on those ads because you will be redirected to third parties websites that may be infected and do harm to your computer.

Besides that, this adware collects information about users’ browsing habits, such as top visited sites, search queries or browsing history. This data is used to adjust ads to users’ likings and make them more attractive. Majestic Savings is classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) and if you noticed it on your computer, you should remove it immediately.

Majestic Savings travels bundled with free software that can be found on the Internet. If you downloaded some software from a suspicious looking website, there is a chance that Majestic Savings infiltrated into your PC. In order to avoid this malicious application, you should pay attention to installation process of freebies. Do not skip any steps and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible, to make sure you are aware of what are you installing. Read all terms and conditions as well.
