Good game. I was thinking to myself, “Borders has no problem printing barcodes without installing anything, but whatever” and then Avira told me there were spyware signatures in the software.

I had a feeling it was spyware since there's absolutely no reason I can think of for needing to INSTALL software just to print a stupid coupon. That should set off all sorts of alarm bells, but in the end Coupons.com just got a gigantic boost for whatever spyware/adware they feel like shoving on computers. This promotion made huge waves on the net this week and I have a feeling there's a whole load of infected computers now. Thanks for looking into this.

You will spend more time getting the app off your computer than 2 chunks of chicken are worth. Well that's my 2 cents. Is chicken really worth it?

I was curious, and almost got excited for it, then blah, spyware, pdf, whatever else is out there, I just don't think its worth the hassle anymore. You know, I just don’t think its worth it anymore.

The former process required you to download some software, this is much better now. Thanks for that. You are right – they changed it.
