How to remove SaveArmor?

What is SaveArmor?

SaveArmor is a fake spyware remover created by the same people, who are responsible for countless rogue anti-spyware programs that came out during this month, including SaveDefender, TrustWarrior, SafetyKeeper. SaveArmor is no different than any other rogue in the sense that it uses the same methods to spread and to sell. It usually enters the system by using trojans, such as Vundo, or by tricking users with malicious websites. SaveArmor relies on misleading advertising to trick users into purchasing it’s “licensed version”.

Upon entering the system, SaveArmor will flood the user with popups and fake system notifications, supposedly to inform him of an infection or multiple infections present on the system. While this information may be correct due to coincidence, SaveArmor has neither the ability to detect nor remove threats and should therefore be ignored. SaveArmor will try to trick you into purchasing it’s so-called full version by subjecting him to fake online and local scans, which mark harmless files as threats, thus creating the illusion that the user’s system is infected.

There is nothing to gain from SaveArmor: having it installed will only result in countless popups and a significant decrease in system performance. This anti-spyware is a threat and should be treated as such: do NOT download or buy it and remove SaveArmor immediately upon detection.

Manual SaveArmor removal


Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove SaveArmor, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using automatic spyware removal applications found on 2-viruses.com.

SaveArmor is classified as Rogue Anti-Spyware. After infecting a user’s system, it proceeds to scare its victim into buying the “product” by displaying fake security messages, stating that your computer is infected with spyware and only SaveArmor can help you to remove it after you download the trial version. As soon as the victim downloads SaveArmor trial version, it pretends to scan your computer and shows a grossly exaggerated amount of non-existent errors. Then, SaveArmor offers to buy the full version to fix these false errors. If the user agrees, SaveArmor does not only fix the errors, but it also takes the user’s money and may even install additional spyware into the victim’s computer.

Some Rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SaveArmor, may offer users to buy it after the victim clicks on a banner or a pop-up while surfing the internet. Usually, a Trojan is installed to a victim’s computer after clicking on the advertisement. It then proceeds to download or even install SaveArmor, which is another way for Rogue Anti-Spyware to spread itself.

Most of rogue Anti-Spyware, such as SaveArmor, is nearly impossible to remove manually.


How to tell if your PC has been infected by a Rogue Anti-Spyware such as SaveArmor?

Numerous undesirable and annoying pop-ups: A typical Rogue Anti-Spyware parasite keeps track of your internet browsing habits, sending your browsing history data to remote servers, owned by third party companies that use this information to advertise their products via numerous pop-ups, toolbars, hijacked homepages and spam letters. All these undesirable advertising methods are used on the victims of Rogue Anti-Spyware.
Changed or new icons: Sometimes, Rogue Anti-Spyware installs unwanted software to a victim’s PC without user’s knowledge and consent. This may lead to slower PC performance and stability, as well as more unwanted programs you can't remove.
