What is Easy Discount Pro?

Easy Discount Pro is a rogue browser extension claiming to save time and money by enabling coupons, comparison shopping, and displaying special deals/discounts available within online stores. On initial inspection, this functionality may seem legitimate and useful, however, be aware that Easy Discount Pro is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) or adware. These associations are made due to a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional applications together with the chosen software) employed by Easy Discount Pro to install on Internet browsers without users' consent. After successful infiltration on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome, Easy Discount Pro generates intrusive online advertisements and tracks users' Internet browsing activity.

The advertisements generated by this rogue application include (but are not limited to) coupon, pop-up, text-link, and other similar ads. There is a high probability that clicking advertisements generated by Easy Discount Pro will lead to high-risk adware or malware infections. In addition, users' Internet browsing activity is continually monitored, since this PUP collects various software and hardware information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (used to determine geographic locations), operating system type, time and date options, browser type and data (history, cookies, website URLs visited, pages viewed, search queries entered), and other details that are likely to be personally identifiable. Easy Discount Pro is similar to other rogue applications, which use bundling as an installation method. Popcornew, Forever Net, Lite Web, and GetTheDiscount are just some examples among many others. None of these applications (including Easy Discount Pro) provide any real value for the user - their purpose is to generate revenue by the display of intrusive online ads and sharing collected information with third parties. Therefore, you are strongly advised to eliminate Easy Discount Pro from your Internet browsers.

Close examination of Easy Discount Pro reveals that it is mostly distributed via small download programs (called 'installers', 'download managers', 'download clients', etc.) on freeware download websites such as soft32.com, softonic.com, and download.com. Download programs are used by these websites as free services and traffic monetization tools, since they offer installation of advertised (according to the developers, '100% legitimate and virus-free') browser extensions together with the chosen software. Thus, reckless download and installation of freeware often results in adware or malware infections. Installation of adware such as Easy Discount Pro can be avoided by paying close attention when downloading free software and clicking 'Decline' if installation of any additional programs is offered. Furthermore, all software downloaded from the Internet should be installed using the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical' - this will expose any bundled applications listed for installation and allow you to opt-out. If your computer is infected with Easy Discount Pro, follow the removal guide provided to uninstall this adware from your system.
