Posted: July 17, 2017

Sparpilot.com is a German search engine, which offers users the ability to search for some of the most popular online stores not just in Germany, but worldwide as well. Apart from the online service Sparpilot.com offers, users also may see a proposal to install the 'Sparpilot' add-on – a browser-enhancing utility, which is supposed to make their online shopping habits more convenient by providing them with information about the best deals online, as well as with the best prices of the products they browse.

According to Sparpilot's official website, the extension is only compatible with Mozilla Firefox, but the page includes buttons for other major Web browsers so that it is possible that Sparpilot may be released for other Web browsers soon. According to the terms of service, Sparpilot functions by providing users with coupon codes, discount updates, and other pricing information whenever they browse online products or visit one of the online stores that Sparpilot supports. While this extension might seem useful at first, users should keep in mind that Sparpilot may promote certain products, and it also might use affiliate links for some offers.

Online shopping assistants may not be a reliable source of information for coupons and discounts, and many of them may not have anything good to offer. In addition to having a questionable functionality, Sparpilot also is categorized as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP), and many security software vendors recommend its removal. Since Sparpilot is not a harmful application, its removal can be arranged by uninstalling it from Mozilla Firefox's extension manager manually. However, if this solution does not work out, then you can rest assured that a credible anti-malware utility will deal with the issue in no time.
