About Saver adware

Even though this application is described as useful tool that will allow you to save both your time and money while shopping online by providing you with various coupons, deals and commercial offers, this is not true.

As we have mentioned before, Saver is listed as an adware, so eventually all those offers and deals are displayed in annoying manner of web advertisements. Ads by Saver can come in all kinds of different forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened at any time as well.

We sugget to stay away from ads displayed by Saver because if you click on one of them, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that might be owned by various cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. This way your computer can get infected with other viruses or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Saver can be described as advertising network for cyber criminals. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, such as Facebook or Google ads, they use adware like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them. This being said, if you keep Saver installed on your computer various hackers and scammers will be able to reach you right on your web browsers on a daily basis and that’s very dangerous.

Distribution Methods of Saver adware

Usually Saver is traveling bundled with other free software that can be downloaded from the Internet. For instance, when you download and install some PDF generator or media player, there is a chance that Saver will be downloaded and installed alongside without you even being aware of that. To avoid this happening, always pay close attention to the installation process of freeware and keep your computer secured with reliable anti-malware software all the time.
