What is SaverAddon?

SaverAddon is an adware application. At first glance, it might seem that this program is there to help you improve your online shopping experience. It promises that you can get “discounts and special offers directly to your browser.” However, the only thing you will get is a stream of commercial pop-ups that will slow down your browser and will annoy you to no end. You have to get rid of SaverAddon if you want to avoid serious computer security issues. SaverAddon may not be a direct security threat, but in the long run it could expose you to it. test Download Removal Tool100% FREE spyware scan and

Where does SaverAddon come from?

SaverAddon has a website at saveraddon.info, but it goes without saying that the download button at the site does not work. Hence, this application does not have a direct distribution source. Instead of that, it usually travels around bundled with freeware apps in third-party installers. According to our research, SaverAddon comes bundled with Amonetize, Vittalia and InstallRex installers from file hosting, torrent and p2p websites.

The same distribution methods have been employed by ProShopper, SaveNShop, Unicoupon and many other applications from the same group of semi-random name adware. Users just have to be careful when they install new programs, especially if they have been downloaded from third-party websites. If you are not careful enough, you might end up with SaverAddon on your PC.

What does SaverAddon do?

SaverAddon displays commercial ads on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers. The newest Google Chrome versions may be immune to SaverAddon, but it does not mean that you should ignore this issue altogether.

Ignoring SaverAddon pop-ups will not solve anything because eventually you might accidentally click one of them. Take note that this adware application does not check the content that gets embedded into the ads. Its privacy policy states that SaverAddon is not liable for the security of third-party content, so if you get redirected to a suspicious website, you would have no one else, but yourself to blame.

How to remove SaverAddon?

You need to take all the potential security threats into consideration and remove SaverAddon completely. You can uninstall the program via Control Panel. Then you need to delete SaverAddon extension from Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers (in case your Chrome browser is not updated).

Finally, scan the PC with SpyHunter free scanner because you are bound to have more unwanted applications running on your computer. As it has been mentioned previously, SaverAddon seldom arrives alone – you need to detect all the potential threats and get rid of them at once.
