Do you know what Salus is?
Salus is an undesirable application that might slither onto your computer without your permission. You will definitely notice its presence because Salus will start displaying commercial advertisements on your screen. They will appear on various websites, including merchandise websites. Thus, it is very likely that you will not be able to shop online freely. Unfortunately, Salus itself works on all the major browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. Thus, you will have to delete it in order to be able to do your daily activities without any interruptions. We care about your system’s security very much; therefore, we will help you to erase Salus from the system. It is very important to do that if you want to avoid serious computer infections.

It does not seem that Salus will neutralize the latest threats as it promises to do. It is because this program is classified as an advertising-supported application. According to our researchers, this program will display pop-ups, in-text ads, and shopping offers. We do not recommend clicking on them in any way because it is very likely that you will be routed to the websites full of malicious software. Salus will not only show ads instead of protecting your system from malware, but also track what you do on the web and record such relevant information as the websites you visit and the content you access. It is done in order to display relevant ads for you.
Our team has tested Salus and found out that it might come along with other programs. However, you will not be informed about their installation.
