You may also see ads when using Google search. The image below illustrates how well this adware works. As you can see, a simple search for an iPhone triggered this adware and it displayed ads on Google search front page. It goes without saying that it's not just adware but also spyware.
ScorpionSaver removal might be a tricky task because you can't just rely on its uninstaller. Otherwise it will keep re-installing itself. It won't completely remove this adware from your computer. It will leave add-ons in web browsers and it won't uninstall additionally installed malware. ScorpionSaver web browser add-ons can access your data on all websites, read your browsing history and even access your browsing activity that's why you should remove them from your computer.
To avoid similar adware and spyware infections in the future, please do not download suspicious programs, and check programs before you install them. Often, choosing the advanced or custom install for software will allow you to de-select components and you can remove adware and spyware from the installation process. If a website asks you to download software you should leave it immediately unless you requested it.
