Amazon Mini Saver - How to remove

Amazon Mini Saver is another adware with an interesting name. It was developed by Nero. Designers state that this application will enhance users browsing experience by providing them with special offers and deals while visiting e-commerce sites like Amazon or eBay. However all those ads are worthless because they come from the third parties.

If you will click on one of those ads, you will be redirected to the third parties websites which may be infectious. That’s not even all malicious actions performed by Amazon Mini Saver. It also tracks your personal information like browsing history, search queries or top visited sites. This information is transferred to the third parties later on in order to adjust ads according to your habits and make them more engaging to you. This adware is listed as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) and you should not keep it on your computer.
