MySafeSavings Removal Guide

MySafeSavings is a very suspicious program. Why did you install it onto your computer, if you have done it yourself? It is most likely that you were promised incredible deals and shopping discounts. Whatever this program has promised you, we can assure you that it is useless and unworthy of your attention. First of all, it is unlikely that this advertising-supported program will show any kinds of deals. Even if it does, you are likely to find much better and trustworthy deals yourself. You must keep in mind that this suspicious program was created to make a profit, not assist you, and the “deals” and offers shown to you are likely to be sponsored. Although not all sponsored ads are considered malicious, it is doubtful that you will have any use for the ones introduced to you by this adware. Unfortunately, this is just the first reason to delete MySafeSavings from your computer.

According to our research, MySafeSavings was officially represented at mysafesavings.com. This website is no longer active, and computer users cannot download adware from it. Surprisingly, there is one page active, and it should represent the uninstaller of the suspicious program. Needless to say, the uninstaller does not work, and this is why users are unable to remove MySafeSavings via Control Panel. If you try uninstalling this adware, you will be routed to this page, and, since the uninstaller does not work, you are unable to get rid of this program. Unfortunately, it is likely that other downloaders could be used for the distribution of this advertising-supported program. Just like Gorilla Price and FindingDiscount – both of which are the clones of this adware – it could be spread along with other suspicious and potentially malicious programs. It is very easy to figure out if your operating system was infected with other threats. All you need to do is install a legitimate malware scanner.

We have found that MySafeSavings is a fairly new program and that – at least at the moment – it only affects users in the US. Of course, the website appears to have been disabled already, and it does not look like the developer of this adware is still supporting it; however, because this program is new, it is possible that it will be revived in the future. On top of that, third-party installers might have hijacked the installer to use it as bait to trick you into interacting with unreliable software bundles that might hide other infections. Well, even if third-party malware does not enter your operating system, you might have enough problems with a single ad-supported program. Are you sure that it is the only threat you are dealing with? Even if you are completely sure, we still recommend running a malware scanner because some infections are capable of hiding themselves and initiating malicious activity without your notice.

It is difficult to predict how often MySafeSavings will inject advertisements, and it is even more difficult to predict what kinds of advertisements they will be. All in all, whether you see pop-ups, interstitial ads, or banners, interacting with them is risky, and we hope you know that. Our researchers have found that this adware silently connects to softwarehelpdata.com, softwarecrashreport.com, and mysafesavings.com servers to transfer data, but third-party adware servers are likely to be used for the injection of ads. As you might know, there are quite a few unreliable adware servers created or employed by schemers. If you are shown the ads associated with such servers, you could be scammed before you know it.

As mentioned previously, you cannot remove MySafeSavings by uninstalling it. This advertising-supported program presents a dysfunctional uninstaller, and even if it did work, it is unlikely that it would eliminate all components of this adware. We propose a more complicated but a more secure removal option. Even if you are not sure how to delete registry keys and folders, we are sure that you will be able to handle the removal of this adware if you move one step at a time. Alternatively, you can implement an automated remover, and this is the best option for you if your operating system is simultaneously infected with several suspicious threats. Do not hesitate to contact us (leave a comment below) if you have any questions about this strange adware.
