SaverNet is one of the many Potentially Unwanted Programs that are associated with the Conduit search engine and redirects. Conduit is a low quality search engine that is designed to deliver advertisements instead of legitimate search results. There are hundreds of PUPs like SaverNet that are designed to lead PC users to the Conduit search engine as part of an adware and browser hijacking tactic.

Putting an End to the Annoying Advertisements Displayed by SaverNet

SaverNet takes the form of a Web browser extension, in a way, similar to most adware infections. There are versions of SaverNet that may affect the most popular Web browsers on Windows, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. SaverNet is designed to add advertisements and redirects to popular search engines, including Google and Bing. SaverNet runs as a background process and requires removal using the Control Panel 'Add or Remove Programs' feature. However, SaverNet should be stopped from injecting new advertisements, because even when the program is uninstalled, your Web browser settings may remain affected, allowing unwanted advertisements and redirects to continue. As soon as SaverNet is installed, SaverNet injects advertisements into your Web browser, and may force it to visit sponsored Web browsers and replace advertisements on websites you view with its own advertising material.

Dealing with SaverNet and Its Associated PUPs

SaverNet may be associated with the InstalleRex download manager, created by WebPicks Holdings, a platform that is associated with various PUPs. SaverNet has many variants, which are re-branded as a way of recycling this kind of unwanted content. It is advised by security experts the removal of SaverNet immediately by uninstalling this program using the Control Panel. Then, it is advised to remove the Web browser extension from your Web browser and restore your Web browser settings. Finally, it is recommended to run a deep scan of your PC with an effective security application that is fully up-to-date to remove all traces of SaverNet.
