Great idea, terrible realization. Robo Saver is classified as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and needs to be deleted before it manages to cause you serious damage. Apart from redirecting you to sponsored websites, the Robo Saver parasite will also constantly try to force some highly questionable programs on you which might turn out to be extremely malicious. Just to make your life a bit more miserable,  the infection will also flood you with commercials and slow down your computer considerably. What do to? Delete the virus.

How did I get infected with?

Such parasites usually travel the web applying secretive techniques and Robo Saver doesn’t deviate much from that pattern. As this program doesn’t have an official website, it leaves us with the obvious answer to the question how the parasite entered your computer. It gets attached to other programs and travels the web in so-called bundles – packages of programs that you download at once. However convenient this might be for you, it’s twice as convenient for cyber criminals because they don’t really need to do anything to infect your computer. You infect it yourself. Unfortunately, not many people have the habit of checking the software in the bundle as they underestimate the threat they get exposed to. Robo Saver is not even the most dangerous parasite out there – you could also install a virulent Trojan or some terrible piece of ransomware that will cause irreversible damage. To avoid such consequences, you have to be careful when installing software. Always go for the Advanced/Custom option and take some time to check the Terms and Conditions that you accept. Otherwise you might cause your future self an incredible headache and many cyber issues.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The Robo Saver virus behaves like a typical adware program as it messes with your browsers in order to inject them with commercials. The infection successfully takes down Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and it displays the infamous Robo Saver ads on every single web page you visit. You should get prepared to see more pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, interstitials, in-texts, etc. than you ever wanted to see but whether these commercials will be on your screen or not, unfortunately, isn’t up to you. The Robo Saver parasite only has one reason to flood you with advertisements – to make cyber crooks rich. Thanks to the pay-per-click monetizing system, hackers are able to both make money and annoy you in the process, so they will not hesitate to do so. Fair enough, then you shouldn’t hesitate to remove their parasite. Keep in mind that  Robo Saver is an adware program so all ads here are sponsored. That makes all ads unreliable. Not only could you try to purchase a fake product and lose your money, you might also land on a malicious website filed with infections. Do you want to compromise your machine even further? If not, you will also have to stay away from all program updates or additional software that Robo Saver may offer you because they’re just as unreliable as the commercials. Also, to make the ads more attractive and make you click thus generating more profit, the hackers will use your own browsing-related information against you. Pages visited, search queries, cookies, browsing history, passwords, IP addresses – all go straight into the hands of cyber criminals. Not a happy thought, is it? If you want to put an end to all the chaos Robo Saver brought along, you have to delete the virus. To help you do so manually, we’ve prepared a detailed removal guide down bellow.
