How to remove SaveItKeep (Virus Removal)
SaveItKeep virus
SaveItKeep (Save It Keep) is detected as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware by reputable Antivirus vendors because it can get onto a computer system without user knowledge and collect complex user browsing data, which it uses to serve targeted advertisements across Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and other internet browsers. Furthermore, SaveItKeep adware is known to use deceptive marketing techniques to get onto a computer without proper detection.
SaveItKeep adware also uses collected user browsing data for a variety of different marketing campaigns. This includes email spam campaigns, junk mail, and even telephone calls from telemarketers and scam artists. Information collected by SaveItKeep adware will also be shared with unknown third-parties.
