Do you know what Solid Savings is?
Solid Savings is a browser extension that gets installed on your computer and your browser as an add-on. It is available at solid-savings.com and it is very likely that it can be confused with solidsavingsnow.com. The latter website provides shopping deals for a price, and it is absolutely different from solid-savings.com that allows users to install the plugin on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome for free. Although this application is not a computer virus, you are advised to remove Solid Savings from your computer.
The reliability of this plugin is also questioned by the browsers themselves, because if you try to install Solid Savings on Mozilla Firefox, the browser even asks you whether you really want to do it, because Solid Savings is related to a number of security issues. This also brings one to another point regarding the installation of this plugin - Solid Savings does not enter your system surreptitiously. Just like SpecialSavings, Save Valet, Savings Vault, and other coupon apps developed by 215 Apps, Solid Savings have to be installed by computer user himself. If you do not remember having installed this application, then it is very likely that Solid Savings has arrived bundled with other freeware, when you downloaded something from a third party website.

When this add-on is installed, whenever you visit an online shopping website (such as Expedia or Toys R Us), the extension displays a list of coupon details, that are supposed to help you purchase the particular good at an optimal price. However, since Solid Savings is not responsible for the content displayed on these coupons, third parties may exploit the application to display links to corrupted websites. It is one of the main reason why you should remove Solid Savings from your PC. Luckily, it is very easy to achieve manually.
