Remove ScorpionSaver Services by Adpeak

ScorpionSaver is a potentially unwanted web browser extension that is designed to deliver search-based hijacking/injection as well as contextual advertising. The program does this by modifying the user's home and search page in order to monetize a user's search activities. By installing a Browser Helper Object (BHO) in Internet Explorer, the extension has the ability to monitor and track a user web browsing activities and display various banner and link-context ads in addition to its search redirection.

"The Software is supported by various types of advertising, including, without limitation, search, banner, text link, transitional, interstitial and full page ads. Ads and features that appear on websites by using the Software are not associated with or endorsed by any underlying websites."

It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The main program executable is adpeakproxy.exe. Typically most users end up uninstalling this just after a few days. The software installer includes 12 files and is usually about 3.95 MB (4,136,960 bytes).
