About Easy Discount Pro
Easy Discount Pro is really similar to vast majority of all other adware of this type. They pretend to be a useful tool that help users to save their time and money when shopping online by providing them with various deals, coupons and offers. Those advertisements can look really appealing, but most of the time they are fake. It’s just a trick to make you click on them, because that’s the main goal of Easy Discount Pro. They get paid for every click you make on those advertisements. However, you should not do that, because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to some other websites. This may result in your computer getting infected or in case you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.
Easy Discount Pro works as a middle man between you and various cyber criminals. Furthermore, those offers come in a really annoying manner of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text and banner advertisements. It is browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. That’s why it’s not enough only to remove Easy Discount Pro from your control panel – you have to remove it from your web browsers as well.
Another unwanted attribute of Easy Discount Pro is data collection. Once installed it will collect various information about your browsing habits, such as search queries, browsing history or top visited sites. This information will be used for marketing purposes. They will adjust those advertisements according to collected data. This way they look even more appealing to you. They may also transfer this collected information to cyber criminals. In this case you will be very vulnerable, because it’s much easier for them to attack you when they have a lot of information about you.
As you can see, there are no official contact information on their official website (http://easydiscountpro.com/). That’s a sign of unreliability. If something bad happens due to this application, no one will take responsibility for that. That’s just another reason why you should remove Easy Discount Pro from your computer.
Distribution Methods of Easy Discount Pro
There is a download button on their website, so you can download it directly from there. However, it’s a very rare case. Usually Easy Discount Pro is travelling bundled with other free applications. I.e. when you download and install some freebie from a website with a questionable reputation, there is a chance that Easy Discount Pro will be installed behind your back. To avoid this happening, don’t download free software from unreliable sources. However, if you have no other option, be very attentive during the installation of freebie. Do not skip any steps (don’t just click “next” and “agree” buttons all the time without reading whole information first) and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode – this will allow you to see all available options. Don’t rush, because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to miss that. If you see that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside do not allow this installation to be completed.
