Any visited web page turns into a mess as long as the RRSavings (RR Savings Deals) app resides on the PC.

An additional 'feature' exhibited by this infection is the aptitude of triggering pop-ups at random hovering over the site content, which cannot be closed without subsequent pop-under windows getting spawned or new tabs opening to deliver the advertising you definitely don't want to see. Overall, not only does this adware spoil one's web surfing experience big time, it may also considerably slow down whichever browser is being used and cause the CPU to go to its peak off and on.

The contamination is usually preceded by the user installing some outwardly safe and harmless software, for example a calendar app, free video converter or PDF to Word converter, whose setup wizard is hard-coded to add an undeclared extra to the system along with the main application. Important to know, even if RRSavings gets manually removed via Control Panel and deleted from browser add-ons afterwards, this does not guarantee that there will be no more ads popping up.

A side effect that is certainly not to be understated is the probable privacy violation part of this malware's activities. Even a brief glance at the permissions required by RRSavings reveals the obvious risk to the victim's online identity as the app can access data on all visited sites, read and modify the browsing history, and access other critical aspects of the user's Internet activity.

Since there's nothing but cons about having the RRSavings app on a PC, removing it from the system is the only judicious algo of action to stick to. As it's been mentioned, the targeted manual uninstall procedure is of limited effectiveness – unfortunately that's how adware programs are designed.
