How to remove the Savepath Deals Adware

There is a new piece of adware making the rounds on the internet. It is called Savepath Deals.

It is important to note that adware is not malware. However, it installs itself along with other software without the software installer telling you it is going to install the adware along with the program you wanted to install.

So even though it is not malware, you did not expressly agree to install the adware. Therefore, it is not welcome on your system.

The following is the removal process for this piece of adware.

Step #1: Download Junkware Removal Tool from here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/junkware-removal-tool/

Step #2: Once the download is complete, double click the now downloaded executable file to run the program.

Step #3: Follow the prompts that this removal tool gives you.

Step #4: Once the removal tool has finished its process, download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/malwarebytes-anti-malware/

Running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware will ensure that your computer does not have any infections or remains of the adware.

Step #5: Once Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is installed, Select Preform Full Scan and then click on the scan button. Please note that this scan will take some time. So, I suggest that you go do something else in close proximity to the computer so that you can check on the scan once every 15-30 minutes. Popular choices to use this time include enjoying a cup of tea, reading a book, or watching a television program.

Step #6: Once the scan is done, follow the prompts on your screen to see if there are any further infections present.

Step #7: If during the removal process, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware informs you that you must restart your computer, allow it to do so.

Step #8: Enjoy your computer which should now be free of the Savepath Deals adware program.
