DropinSavings is said to be a browser plug-in displaying various coupons. The application can be downloaded form the official website dropinsaving.com where different coupons are available as well. If you are sure that you have not downloaded this annoying tool on your own, you might have installed a different program whose installer contains DropinSavings and have not noticed some check boxes providing you with an option to chose whether to install it or not.
Some people find this very annoying and want to remove or disable the extension from the browsers without realising that the coupons are not the only threat. DropinSavings can collect identifiable and non-identifiable information and send it to a third party company, which is stated in the Privacy Policy.
