BAD NEWS.CNET FALSE ADVERTISING ADWARE MISDIRECT.
garystvshowMarch 14, 2014
Pros
THERE ARE NO PROS TO ADWARE WHEN CNET MISLEADS THE PUBLIC.
Cons
THERE ARE CONS TO ADWARE WHEN CNET MISLEADS THE PUBLIC.
Summary
CNET FALSE ADVERTISING. COUPON BAR BUNDLE VIRUS REDIRECT THAT DOESN'T SHOW UP IN PROGRAM FILES, REVO UNINSTALLER, EXTENSIONS,PLUG INS......KIDNAPS SYSTEM. UNABLE TO REMOVE.
Needed to print UPC codes/coupons
DH1August 16, 2013
Pros
With CouponBar installed coupons/UPC codes print perfectly.
Cons
Spybot continues to report CouponBar as Adware.
Summary
I don't print a large number of coupons at home. Over the years I have, without problem, installed/uninstalled CouponBar several times. (I've uninstalled CouponBar only because I forget why I installed it!) Coupons from reputable companies (grocery and drug stores, etc.) continue to require CouponBar in order to print. I do not believe reputable companies would require the installation of a "harmful" program. Therefore, even though reported as Adware, I consider CouponBar to be safe. Maybe I'm naive.
Adware and possibly Spyware
Payload617April 20, 2013
Pros
-None, not one.
Cons
-Adware, before removal I would get pop-ups regularly regardless of me having Adblock Plus. -Impossible for Spybot S&D To remove registry values, I've scanned probably 10 times after clicking 'Fix' and removing the deleted registry values for this and it keeps showing up.
Summary
Do NOT download for your safety, you're better off clipping coupons out of your magazines.
Separate software was required to remove this ADWARE!!!
lyricmamaMarch 9, 2011
Pros
None that I know of.
Cons
Does not remove itself from PC upon uninstalling.
Summary
I could not agree more with the users who complained that this software messed up their registry with unremoveable Adware. CNET should be ashamed to have rated this 4 stars and it seems like an oversight. I also (based on the recommendation in a previous review here) downloaded (with trepidation) "Spybot - Search and Destroy" in order to remove it. I was careful with the options that I chose when downloading this removal tool as I did not want it to interfere with my current internet security (Norton 360). I downloaded Spybot S&D and it immediately found 39 entries for CouponBar that were supposedly "uninstalled" (not). Any software that adds adware that does NOT REMOVE ITSELF from your computer when uninstalled is SPAM and unforgiveable. C'mon CNET. Get with the program!
malware!!!

Pros
There is nothing good about this.
Cons
DON'T download this. I always trusted Cnet but with this getting their ok I have to question that now. I got this off with SpyBot. Make sure you update it. Also the it take you off as administrator so you have to go into recovery to get it off.
Summary
This is a terrible, it Cnet should not be endorsing this.
This is spyware; don't download it
jrosenberry1October 29, 2009
Pros
Easy download
Cons
I believe this is spyware; since its download strange ads and "your computer might be infected!" pages keep popping up. PLUS - you cannot remove this program by going to add/remove programs. It won't come off.
Summary
Don't risk it.
Easy and decent coupons
submarine5June 22, 2009
Pros
Quick to use
Cons
Some coupons not sure why they selected
Summary
then why doesn't someone tell spybot S&D
headmaster18March 3, 2008
Pros
My wife likes it.
Cons
I am weary because spybot S&D always tells me it's not supposed to be there.I can't afford to have one of my two daughters or my wife put something on something I've spent years perfecting(but she does it anyway...go figure).Until they can can get together with the spyware removal makers and convince them there product does not belong on their list.They get a two!
Summary
same as any
wevrchicFebruary 27, 2008

My Zone Alarm anti spyware filter stopped me from accessing this download. I trust Zone Alarm and wouldn't even think of going to a banned site. End of story.
