This is the reason experts classify PrestoSavings as a potentially unwanted program (PUP).

It is easy to avoid such potentially unwanted installations by simply selecting the Advanced options and un-ticking the additional add-ons, plug-ins and apps that get installed together with the initially desired software. PrestoSavings presents the user with different deals, offers and price comparisons matching his interests and preferences. To be able to do that, the add-on tracks certain information, like:

IP address
Browsing habits
Search queries
