Saleslider is similar to a number of recently launched adware applications. We can name Ninja Savings and Majestic Coupons as almost identical programs, and all of them are owned and licensed by Engaging Apps.

You may encounter various coupons if you keep using Saleslider, but the program is also involved in some suspicious activity as it monitors your browsing activity and sends the gathered information to its business partners.

Harvest Savings applies the “name says it all” trick to make you believe that with this application you will save money while shopping online – and that could not be further from the truth. Although this browser extension offers coupon alerts, instead of saving you money, it makes easy money for its developers through the third-party ads it floods your screen with. Of course, these ads are not without risk since clicking on them might take you to unsafe websites where you might be exposed to unreliable content. Based on its functionality and behavior, our malware researchers have categorized this application as an adware program. It is quite likely that you did not download it as a standalone app, which can only mean one thing – there may be other infections on your computer as well. You should remove Harvest Savings as soon as you can, because its presence might create chaos in your system security. Read more »

TopShape.me says it will help to keep your computer stable and secure, but you should not believe such promises. We think that it is unlikely that the program promoted as a software updater will do everything it says. In any case, the pros of this program would not outweigh its cons. TopShape.me is an adware program that shows you annoying commercial pop-ups. The program spies on you via cookies, and even connects to the Internet without your permission. This is probably done to transfer data this program has collected about you to third parties, so prevent the possible unwanted consequences and delete the application. Read more »
