Savenow remove instructions, learn more about this adware and how to uninstall Savenow in our removing and uninstaller guide
WhenU. SAVENOW is an adware application that displays pop-up advertising on the desktop in response to users' web browsing.
SAVENOW is essentially the same application as WhenU's Save! Both programs open contextually targeted pop-ups on the desktop in response to users' web browsing. SAVENOW is distributed from WhenU's website whereas Save! is bundled with other applications from WhenU's distribution partners.
SAVENOW displays ads based on the user's browsing habits by sending browser information to WhenU's servers. According to WhenU's license agreement, WhenU then delivers pop up ads to the user's desktop based on sites the user visits, content viewed and search terms used. (http://www.whenu.com/products_ SAVENOW _la.html) It is configured to start with Windows and run automatically. It can be uninstalled in the Control Panel with Add/Remove Programs and displays a prompt that can be somewhat confusing by asking if you want to keep the installation,rather than if you want to uninstall it. Most uninstallers ask for confirmation to uninstall.
WhenU states that no personally identifying information is collected and that "your clickstream data" (i.e. a log of all the sites you visit) is not transmitted to WhenU or any third party server."
