Supreme Savings is an add-on for Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome that is typically added when you install other free programs. When you install these free programs, they will also install Supreme Savings as well. Some of the programs that are known to bundle Supreme Savings include 1ClickDownload, Yontoo and FBPhotoZoom.
Once installed, whenever you will browse Expedia, Wallmart, Facebook or any other similar websites, Supreme Savings will show in the right top part of your browser, a box containing related keyword suggestions,ads and sponsored links.

You should always pay attention when installing software because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this Supreme Savings browser hijacker. Be very careful what you agree to install. Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.

    As the newest commenter, I’ll attest that the Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) works awesome! It’s super easy to run.
    Holly was correct in that some of the previous ones–like the Avast Browser Cleanup (which is what I use)–don’t work anymore. But the JRT works wonderfully as of 7/8/13
