Savenow is one of the easily noticable program-bundled scumware, if any of your previous spyware removal tools failed to catch even savenow then you are better off with something else.

good point alan,rizalsoftware.com is the dodgy one, below is info pasted from site.
false positives work as goad to purchase; uses out-of-date reference database w/ no update function; exploits name "Ad-aware" (1); Ad-aware rip-off; Note: not to be confused with SpyRemover from itcompany.com

hi, just to make a point: 1)Massaker (RAT) 2)Hanky Panky (RAT) are remote access trojans and are not spyware as such. they fall under the catagory of trojans such as netbus, back office, etc. (remote access trojans) but i do agree with most that there`s a lot of scumware out there that should be recognized as such and banned. all the best, murve
