SaveKeep is a misleading security application from the same family as WiniGuard, WiniShield, WiniBlueSoft and WiniFighter. The rogue application displays false scan results and fake security alerts to make you think your computer is infected with malware. The main goal of this parasite is to trick you into purchasing the program. You should uninstall SaveKeep from your computer as soon as possible.

SaveKeep is promoted mainly through the use of Trojan viruses and fake online anti-malware scanners. Trojans display fake security alerts and fabricated Windows Security center window to convince you that your PC is in great danger. You may see fake alerts with the following text:

"Security Center Alert!
Infiltration Alert!
Your computer is being attacked by an Internet virus. It could be a password-stealing attack, a trojan-dropper or similar."

Fake Windows Security center notification reads:

"Recommendations...
Windows Security Center
Your computer is infected by spyware - threat have been found while scanning your files and registry. It is strongly recommended that you disinfect your PC and active Realtime protection against future intrusions."

SaveKeep can be also downloaded and installed manually from its homepage savekeep.com. However, this is less common situation. Anyway, you should avoid this website as it promotes rogue program.

Once installed, SaveKeep will ostensibly scan your computer and report a variety of infections that cannot be removed unless you first purchase the program. The scan results are obviously false, you may safely ignore them. Furthermore, Save Keep will impersonate Security Center and display fake security warnings that antivirus protection is turned off or that your computer is seriously infected. To make things worse this bogus program will block antivirus applications and security related websites. Likely, it will slow dramatically slow down your computer.

SaveKeep is a scam, do not purchase it. Please use the removal guide below to remove SaveKeep from your computer manually for free.
