It looks like a virus/ phishing. I don't trust it. AVGFree didn't alert me on a virus.

Can you tell if this is legit or not? And if not, how to get rid of it?

Kind regards,

Marc

hello marc, this doesn't sound legitimate but may be a sign of adware/malware that is running on your pc.

you might want to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner, which are specialised in browser hijackers and adware.

Hi Philipp,

That did the job, Adwcleaner found SaveSense and remove it succesfull.

Thx!
