About Cash Kitten adware

Even though Cash Kitten is described as a free tool that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, deals and commercial offers, it is not true. The problem is that all those coupons and deals come in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements.

Cash Kitten can be described as advertising network for cyber criminals, such as hackers or scammers. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like this to promote their websites and drive some traffic to them.
