The most common file with the name "save.exe" is an adware program:
The "save"-adware displays advertisements in pop-up windows whenever certain websites are visited.
It creates the folder Save inside the system's Program Files directory, then drops certain files into this folder in order to perform its adware routine.
It also uninstalls the software SaveNow from the infected machine.
You have to check the full path and the properties of this file to decide if it is dangerous or not.

| SAVE!/SAVENOW is installed on your computer as a module that comes with WeatherCast or ClockSync or other software that you downloaded from the Internet. At that time, you accepted a SAVE!/SAVENOW license agreement as part of the download process you completed. Chris Currie | |

| It comes as a condition of operating bearshare for free....the trick is that bearshare only requires that it be installed on your computer, you can quarantine, deactivate, etc. as long as the file itself is on your system somewhere. Not a problem once you stop it from doing everything it's supposed to --- then you got bearshare for free. If anybody knows a better psp system let me know. Zen82 | |
| Die Datei "Save.exe" wird. u.a. bei der Installation des Downloadprogramms "Bearshare" zusammen mit "Weather Cast" installiert. Sie können es unter systemsteuerung - Software deinstallieren. Ich empfehle aber noch, den "Spybot Search and Destroy" zu installieren um es endgültig zu beseitigen. Karl-Heinz | |

| Downloaded it with "Amazing CD & DVD Burner". NOD32 didn't find it, nor did Lavasofts' Ad-Aware SE Personal. It has created a folder in Program Files named "Save" with *.exe and some other files, and made some registry edits, which can be found if trying to find "WhenU". taraCkaans | |
