What is SavingsShip?

If you have seen one coupon ad family program, you basically have seen them all. SavingsShip is a browser plugin that is said to help you keep your money in your pocket. It is similar to Deal Spy, Deal Vault, Supreme Savings and other similar add-ons. This browser extension is supposed to help you find coupons and discount offers immediately, as it is compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers, so no matter which browser is set as your default one, if SavingsShip gets installed on your computer, you are most probably going to be displayed various commercial ads each time you access a website supported by the plugin.

Where does SavingsShip come from?

The official website for SavingsShip can be accessed at savingsship.com. However, the plugin’s download at the website is currently unavailable and you might be wondering as to how SavingsShip enters your system if the official website does not distribute the extension. Is it a virus?

SavingsShip is not a computer virus. Even if the plugin cannot be downloaded from the official website, this application is obviously available for download at third party web pages, most probably bundled with other freeware applications. SavingsShip and other similar browser plugins often “travel” along with other programs and when you initiate some freeware installation, it is very likely that you install additional applications such as SavingsShip as well. test Download Removal Tool100% FREE spyware scan and

What does SavingsShip do?

Technically SavingsShip is not a computer malware, as it merely offers you coupon deals whenever you access Expedia, kmart, ToysRUs, Zales and a number of other online stores. However, apart from being annoying, SavingsShip could prove to be dangerous as well.

If SavingsShip is exploited by a malicious third party, the links embedded on these pop-up ads could lead you to a corrupted website that is part of a malware distribution network.
