Saver is an ad-supported program that is available on savey.net. Some users come across this website themselves and download this program; however, we are sure that it is spread in a different way too because this software is rather prevalent. If Saver ever manages to enter your system too, you will notice its folder called Saver in C:\Program Files (x86) (C:\ Program Files). This folder will contain such files as IEPluginSetup.msi, Microsoft.mshtml.dll, SaverSolution.msi, and System.Data.SQLite.dll. Even though Saver looks rather decent, we suggest that you remove it from your system because this program is not that useful and trustworthy as it seems to be.
