About SaleSlider

SaleSlider is described as an application that should help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various deals, coupons and commercial offers. However, this description has nothing to do with the reality, and you should not trust it. It works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. This means it’s not enough to remove it only from your control panel – you have to remove SaleSlider from every of your web browsers separately if you want to get rid of it completely.

Those advertisements can be displayed in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, contextual or banner advertisements. A new tab or window can be opened on your web browser as well. They appear completely randomly, from time to time, so it’s really disturbing. Most probably you will notice those advertisements on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon. You will be offered to purchase some items or services at a very appealing price rate. Don’t fall for that, as it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on one of those advertisements. Usually those offers are fake and there are no items for sale at all.

SaleSlider works as a middleman between users and other websites that wants to promote themselves. It’s not a secret that owners of those websites usually happens to be various cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers. Since they are banned from almost all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like SaleSlider  to build traffic to their websites. So if you have SaleSlider installed on your computer, cyber criminals reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis. If you click on one of those advertisements displayed by SaleSlider, you will be immediately redirected to other websites, that may be infected and cause some sort of damage to your computer. Or in case you attempt to purchase something there, you can get scammed and lose your money. That’s why it is dangerous to keep SaleSlider installed on your computer.

Another unwanted attribute of SaleSlider is data collection. Once installed, it will collect various information about your web browsing habits, such as search queries, browsing history, your IP and email addresses. They adjust those advertisements based on collected information and make them even more relevant and attractive to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. And it’s the main goal of SaleSlider because they get paid for every click you make on those advertisements.

Distribution Methods of SaleSlider

Usually it travels bundled with various freebies, such as PDF generators or media players and gets installed alongside, without you even being aware of that. So if you want to avoid getting infected with SaleSlider, you should avoid downloading software from unreliable sources. However, if you have no other options, be really attentive during the installation. Always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode and do not skip any steps. This way you will be able to see all available options and take control into your hands. Reading terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. If you see that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside, do not allow this to happen.
