What is Safe Saver?
Safe Saver is a very suspicious browser add-on, which has already been included to such categories as adware and a potentially unwanted program. When inside and active, this program is prepared to do anything to trick people into visiting predetermined websites and help them to increase their sales, page rank or other indicators. Beware that this program seeks to promote specific sites and earn the money from that, so there is no guarantee that it won’t trick you into visiting suspicious and even malicious domains. Besides, Safe Saver adware tends to show up on computers (and each of their web browsers) out of nowhere. That’s because it has been actively promoted with the help of ‘bundling’, which is closely related to freeware and shareware. While there are hundreds of PC users who keep downloading freeware to their computers, there is no surprise that some of them have been tricked into downloading adwares, browser hijackers and other ‘optional components’ to their computers.
If you have also been tricked into downloading Safe Saver adware to the system, the main thing that you may have already noticed is tons of ads. These alerts are mostly labeled as ‘ads by Safe Saver’, ‘by Safe Saver’, ‘brought to you by Safe Saver’, etc. No matter how trustworthy and useful they look, you should understand that they can hardly help you to save the money. Please, be really careful with links that are usually incorporated in Safe Saver alerts because, as we have already notified you, you may be redirected to unknown websites.

After running a full system scan withReimageIntego or other anti-spyware, you should remove everything what it finds. Otherwise, you can forget about calm browsing on the Internet.

Yes, you can download it manually but we don’t recommend you this if you don’t like to notice redirects to unknown websites, slow downs, pop-up ads and similar things during your browsing. Besides, if you really want to avoid Safe Saver, you should know that you can agree to install this annoying application on your computer when downloading download managers, PDF Creators and similar free programs. If you want to avoid that, always choose a Custom or Advanced program’s installation method and uncheck the check box that says that you agree to install this adware.
