About Giant Savings Extension?

The Giant Savings Extension by Red Online Marketing Group LP is a web browser plugin designed to provide users with coupon deals and advertisements while browsing online shopping sites. Through pre-arranged affiliate relationships with merchants, the extension alerts users to other potential deals or prices, and displays relevant ads. This extension injects ads and affiliate codes directly into web page content by modifying HTML, and has been observed displaying non-embedded pop-up advertisements not attributed to the application itself, classifying it as adware. It has been flagged as such by various anti-malware programs, and is commonly bundled with third-party software. Users should be aware that this extension is considered aggressive adware, as it takes over user browsers and settings, and injects its own advertising over existing website ads, including Adsense.
