SaveMass virus

SaveMass (Save Mass) is found in the potentially unwanted program (PUP) and adware categories of possible computer threats. In particular, SaveMass is adware that can infiltrate a computer system and multiple internet browsers without user knowledge. Furthermore, potential SaveMass malware can collect user data, and use the collected data to serve targeted advertisements.

SaveMass adware also uses collected user browsing data for a variety of several marketing campaigns that may include using a victims email address, home address, and telephone number. Information collected by SaveMass adware may also be shared with unknown third-parties and programs that this adware bundles with.

Potential SaveMass malware is commonly known as the “SaveMass virus” even though the unwanted program is not a computer virus. However, the SaveMass virus is very intrusive before and after install, it modifies existing browser and system settings (including browser and system start-up protocols), and it primarily bundles with other unwanted programs, malware, and malicious threats that can cause further issues and will also need to be removed.
