Not until the ads start popping up and give it away. Some of the program’s preferred methods of infiltration include the use of spam email attachments, corrupted websites, and corrupted links. It can also pose as a bogus system or program update. However, more often than not, Prizecoupon’s method of choice is through freeware. It uses the freeware as a shield to hide behind, and sneaks in undetected, since most users are not nearly as attentive as they should be, when going through its installation process. For some reason, they think it’s okay to not read the terms and conditions, and just agree to everything in haste. In all fairness, it is okay if you want to end up with adware such as Prizecoupon. But if you don’t, be extra careful when it comes to freeware as it often comes bundled with all kinds of malware.
