Like NextCoup adware, SurfToSave is an unwanted program that aims to gain illegal income through generating tons of annoying pop-ups. It pretends to be a helpful tool to save your money and time. But this malware will install itself automatically on the system. Besides, SurfToSave adware puts malicious add-ons to Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox and any other web browser without your knowing. It then takes over all of your Internet browsers with tons of various pop-up ads. Apart from displaying coupons, deals, and savings, SurfToSave underlines certain words and adds hyperlinks on your visiting pages.
It’s not advisable to click any of those unknown links. Or your computer would get caught by additional malware like astromenda.com redirect virus which can further damage your system. At times, SurfToSave virus shuts down the Internet connection and blocks you from accessing security software related websites. But it would download files to do instant updates so as to avoid being removed completely. On the other hand, this unwanted program slows down the entire PC performance by taking up most of the system resources when running in the background.
