How to Remove Majestic Savings (Uninstall Guide)

Majestic Savings is an adware application that installs as a browser plugin across all the browsers and places ads randomly on pages or hyperlinks random words. Whenever you click somewhere on the web page, it will open popup windows with ads by Majestic Savings. This adware usually double underlines certain keywords and changes text color green. It may also add addition parameters to already existing hyperlinks. The good news is that it's not a virus as some users may describe but we could say it's a web browser related malware and also adware because it display advertisements. This guide will walk you through removing Majestic Savings from your computer and web browsers.

If you're reading this post it may be because you either want to know how to protect yourself from this adware or because you've actually already just found it on your system. But before we get to the nitty gritty, let's take a quick look at what this adware actually is and what it means for you if you have one on your PC.

Ads by Majestic Savings

So who 'doesn't want' a adware application? Generally speaking; most of us! So how do they end up on our computers in that case? Most adware programs, including Majestic Savings, are bundled with other programs or software – generally software that is free. Because this software is free you get to use it for no cost (makes sense) but on the flip side it means that the additional PUP or adware will target you with pop-up adverts or will install a new tool bar on your default browser, thereby altering your existing chosen home page or search engine. This particular variant goes even further by inserting ads into Google search results page. Actually, the whole widget, not only annoying ads.

Majestic Savings adware may run other processes in the background, which, unknown to you, have the added negative effect of making your PC run sluggishly. PUPs and adware are often downloaded onto your computer without either your knowledge or your say-so as they are most often packaged with another piece of software.

So what do you need to do if you don't want to download adware? Crucially, you need to be alert at all times when you're downloading something from the internet. Take control of your download by choosing the advanced or custom options when going through the process. In most scenarios, if you're downloading a free program or app – whether it's from a reputable manufacturer such as Adobe, or some free sparkly emoticons – you're probably not all that interested in pop-up ads or a new tool bar.

I know that End User License Agreements and dialogue boxes are boring, but, and here's the but, a lot of PUPs and adware do tell you they're included in the download. OK sure, they might not be overly obvious about it, but take a moment to read the agreement and you might just find that by checking or unchecking certain 'yes or no' and 'agree or disagree' boxes you'll be able to download your program whilst avoiding any other additional and unwanted programs that have been bundled with it. Majestic Savings is usually presented as Majestic Coupons during the installation. You may also find this adware bundled with PUPs like Browser Guardian. As you can see, it's being promoted in various ways, even using fake Flash Player update or fake Java update web pages.
