The problem is that all those offers are displayed in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

We don’t recommend to click on any of those advertisements displayed by SaveOnMac because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money this way.

SaveOnMac is traveling the same way as most of other adware of this type – bundled with various freeware that can be downloaded from the Internet. For example, if you download and install some PDF generator or downloads manager from unreliable website, there is a chance that SaveOnMac will be downloaded and installed alongside without you even being aware of that. To avoid this happening, always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware.

Never skip any steps and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This way you will be able to see all available options and make needed changes. Don’t rush because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to miss it.
