TakeSave is promoted as a useful tool that is supposed to improve the user’s online shopping experience by presenting him with a variety of advertisements in the form of pop-ups, banners, coupons, etc. TakeSave is a browser extension compatible with the popular browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, etc. The displayed ads by TakeSave may be of interest to some computer users, but they should bear in mind that they might get redirected to potentially unreliable web locations if they choose to click on any of the ads.
Like a typical adware program, TakeSave is delivered via bundled downloads of free of charge programs, like media players, video players, program updates, etc. This way of distributing software is widely spread among developers and is not considered to be illegal. Still, it is easy to avoid unwanted installations; all, you have to do, is choose the Custom installation options and un-select the additional plug-ins or apps you have no use of. This can save you a lot of time and effort later. Reportedly, InstallRex, Amonetize, and Vittalia installers are used to distribute TakeSave.
Different adware programs can end up on your PC through drive-by downloads, when you visit corrupted websites or if you open malicious attachments of spam email messages. You need to choose your download sources mindfully and be careful which email attachments you open and that one you send to the Trash directory right away. Keeping your AV program up-to-date and backing up your files on a regular basis should not be overlooked.
