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.

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