Safe Saver virus is an adware that is distributes to computers together with other software. It can be added to Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers. The program displays tons of ads on your computer while you are browsing the Internet, mainly when you are visiting stores online, like eBay, Amazon and some others. The messages contain different coupons with discounts, offers and recommendations. While it can be quite useful especially when you are shopping, Safe Saver virus is very annoying and it can also increase a risk of your computer getting infected.
If you click on these ads, you will be rerouted to some unknown sponsored websites that you have never seen before. This way the program increases traffic for these pages and promotes more products or services. Although Safe Saver is not a virus itself, it can redirect you to malicious websites where you can get serious threats to infiltrated into your computer.
As already mentioned, Safe Saver virus is installed to computers bundled with other programs. So if you want to avoid adding it, you should be more careful about what you are installing to your PC. Always follow installation steps and make sure to deselect all options offering to install unknown programs.

Hello,
Who the hell is this Safe Saver and are they the same as Safe Search? Do you know how can I obtain an email address for these companies?
Do you know is there a Law to stop this kind of ad virus?
James : Generally, they will claim that you confirmed the installation or that it is someones else doing. The best way to prevent them is having decent antivirus that detects such things before install, and even then it is though.
