SmartSaver belongs to the kind of adware that is completely useless other than displaying pop-up advertisements on the websites you visit, slowing down your computer, and recording what you do online…
Like 99% of this kind of adware, SmartSaver gets installed alongside other applications that are downloaded from downloading platforms like Softonic, or from fake “advertisements” saying that a software program on your PC has not been updated and that your computer is in grave danger. That’s why you should never click on these messages and always download your software programs from their respective publisher’s websites.
The authors of SmartSaver are only motivated by one thing: making money off of you. Each advertisement you click on, each new adware you install and each piece of information that they collect for their database makes money for these people. That’s also why they do everything they can to make sure that their program stays on your machine for as long as possible and make it difficult to uninstall…
So if your computer has been infected by SmartSaver, follow the procedure below to get rid of it once and for all.
