SaveNow

Overview

SaveNow was installed on your computer as a module that comes with free software that you downloaded from the Internet. SaveNow's information and offers are provided to users by showing a limited number of relevant coupons and ads in the form of interstitials ("pop-up ads") and other ad formats. These offers and ads are shown when users visit various sites across the Internet, based on URLs visited by the user, search terms typed into search engines, the HTML content of the page viewed by the user, and/or the local country or zip code of the user. SaveNow offers are delivered independently from the site the user happens to be visiting when they see a SaveNow offer and are not endorsed or affiliated with anyone other than WhenU.com. Source

There are a variety of applications that are SaveNow ad-supported, such as Kazaa, NetPumper, Morpheus, Bearshare, DivX Pro, Audio Galaxy, RadLight, iMesh, etc.
