comes with BSplayer, shows ads. Not dangerous but uses CPU and shows you adds. To uninstall, just uninstall the program it came with (in ads, whenU specifies the software it came with as 'in support of some software '.

Wurde mit WhenU installiert, das mit Daemon Tools installiert wurde. Daemon Tools läuft auch ohne dieses einfach zu deinstallierende Programm. Auf der Systemfestplatte unter Programme\SAVE. Einfach den Uninstaller ausführen und gut ist.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [WhenUSave] "C:\Program Files\Save\Save.exe" - its distributed by WhenU, an advertisement company. The software they use for this adverts are called Save and SaveNow. They don't cause any security threats but they are responsible for pop-ups. The only questionable thing is the way they are installed, they come bundled with other useful programmes.

When You Save - Some Freeware applications Install this. This is spyware that when you visit some sites you will get a popup to a site with a better price. Should remove

habe WhenU-Program auch auf dem system. Dies musste ich akzeptieren, um den BsPlayer downloaden und installieren zu können. Ohne WhenU funzt Bsplayer nicht.

WhenUSaveNow adware. Bearshare "safe" people, It's your common run of the mill adware and profiler, comes with most file sharing and P2P Network software, commonly bundled with freeware Bearshare is "ad-supported".

Hat sich bei Bearshare mit installiert, wird man aber auch drauf hingewiesen. Extrem nervig, da es bisher nur beim IE funktionierte und ich Firefox benutze und somit keine Popus bekam, die neue Version nervt auch bei Firefox.
