Would you rather pay the full price for a product or apply a coupon to save money? Most people hunt for discounts and coupons, which is why programs like Oh My Coupons keep emerging. This program is published by EPOP INC, but, according to Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers, it could be distributed by different parties.

Do you know that some unreliable programs are created using a template that was already used hundreds of times before?

It is not surprising that one company creates more than one product, but it is quite suspicious when it creates almost identical, poorly working applications. If you want to learn more about this and acquire knowledge about the removal of Disturbicons, we strongly advise reading this report. Read more »
