RoboSavEr

RoboSavEr is an adware infection that security researchers generally classify as a Potentially Unwanted Program. The main purpose of RoboSavEr is to generate profits at the expense of computer users, usually by displaying a large number of advertisements on affected computers or by redirecting computer users to websites affiliated in some way with RoboSavEr or its sponsors. Although RoboSavEr is marketed as a useful way for finding special deals and discounts online, RoboSavEr's true purpose is to profit at your expense, causing numerous problems on the affected computer in the process.

How RoboSavEr Works

RoboSavEr usually takes the form of a Web browser add-on, which adds a toolbar to your Web browser. RoboSavEr may be installed on most Web browsers on the Windows operating system, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Once RoboSavEr is installed, RoboSavEr makes changes to your Web browser's or computer's settings. For example, RoboSavEr will almost immediately change your Web browser's default search engine and homepage. RoboSavEr will also be installed using techniques that make it hard for computer users to remove RoboSavEr completely or uninstall RoboSavEr when the inevitable problems occur.

Dealing with and Preventing RoboSavEr and Similar PUP Infections

If RoboSavEr is installed on your computer, security researchers strongly advise computer users to remove this PUP at once. Usually, this involves manually removing RoboSavEr and all files associated with RoboSavEr. However, since some files linked to RoboSavEr may remain on the affected computer, security analysts endorse running a scan of the affected computer with a reliable anti-malware application that is fully up-to-date. To prevent future infections, computer users should be especially careful when installing new software and should always protect their computer with a reliable, fully updated anti-malware scanner. RoboSavEr and similar PUPs are usually distributed by bundling them with freeware software distributed on certain, low quality platforms. Although computer users may choose to opt out of installing RoboSavEr, many computer users overlook this option in a rush to install new software on their computer.
