Where does Amazon Mini Saver come from?

This add-on is created by Nero. Due to the fact that it functions on Amazon website only, it might seem that Amazon Mini Saver is an official Amazon extension. However, based on our security research, that is not exactly the case. It is very likely that this application gets distributed bundled with freeware. What is more, our security experts say that Amazon Mini Saver enters your system silently. It means that you are not informed about the installation.

It also means that if you have Amazon Mini Saver on your computer, you most probably have a list of other unwanted applications as well. Adware programs seldom travel alone!

What does Amazon Mini Saver do?

Since it is an adware application, Amazon Mini Saver is there to display advertising pop-ups when you browse Amazon. In some cases it may display coupons and discount offers as well. These pop-ups urge you to purchase certain goods at a lower price. However, when you click Amazon Mini Saver ads, you get redirected to other websites and increase their traffic. With increased traffic, you help people behind these websites make money.

It is not an illegal practice, but due to such features Amazon Mini Saver can be exploited by dangerous third parties that promote malware or steal personal information. That is one of the reasons why users should stay away from adware applications – they are not reliable. They may not try to infect you with malware, but they are highly vulnerable and that vulnerability may turn against you.

How to remove Amazon Mini Saver?

Amazon Mini Saver may present certain difficulties when you try to remove it. You need to open Control Panel and uninstall the application from the list of installed programs. Then you need to remove Amazon Mini Saver add-on from your browser manually. According to our security research team, even though this program has “Uninstall” feature, not all of the files get deleted automatically.
