Amazon Mini Saver is another adware with an interesting name. It was developed by Nero. Designers state that this application will enhance users browsing experience by providing them with special offers and deals while visiting e-commerce sites like Amazon or eBay. However all those ads are worthless because they come from the third parties.
If you will click on one of those ads, you will be redirected to the third parties websites which may be infectious. That’s not even all malicious actions performed by Amazon Mini Saver. It also tracks your personal information like browsing history, search queries or top visited sites. This information is transferred to the third parties later on in order to adjust ads according to your habits and make them more engaging to you. This adware is listed as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) and you should not keep it on your computer.
Amazon Mini Saver usually comes bundled with other free software that can be found on the Internet. In order to avoid this malicious application, you should pay attention to the installation of various freebies. Do not skip any steps and make sure you opt out for a custom or advanced install mode. If you have enough time, it is advisable to read all terms and conditions.
You will be sure that no unwanted program is being installed alongside this way. If it is too late and you have noticed that your computer is already infected, try to scan it with a trustworthy anti-malware program like Spyhunter or malwarebytes – this will remove Amazon Mini Saver automatically.
