SwiftCoupon
Commercial advertisements might start appearing on your screen if you install an advertising-supported application, for instance, SwiftCoupon.

Believe us, ads generated by SwiftCoupon are not only very annoying, but might also expose you to potential threats, which is why you should erase SwiftCoupon as soon as possible.

CouponScanner
CouponScanner is an extension which affects the most popular web browsers, including Internet Explorer and Google Chrome. Our malware researchers were not able to locate an official website representing the program, which is why we consider it disabled. This is greatly unfortunate because an official site could provide you with a Privacy Policy/EULA/Terms of Use, and could help you understand how the program works. All in all, Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers can guarantee that CouponScanner is not a useful application you may expect it to be. This is an advertisement-supported program that will connect to third-party adware servers and will help the production of irritating pop-up and banner suggestions. It is advised to remove CouponScanner from the system because even though the program does present the offers it promises, their credibility is highly questionable. Read more »

MalwareLion Anti-Malware
If you have downloaded MalwareLion Anti-Malware, a program named Spyware Clear will show up every time you turn on the computer. The application represented at spywareclear.com is quite suspicious; however, not because of the name differences between the installer and the actual program.

Both of these applications should be deleted from the system; however, right now you must focus on MalwareLion Anti-Malware removal. Learn more about the program, why it is considered to be malicious, and how you can delete it using our analysis. Read more »
Spyware Clear
You have to delete Spyware Clear from the system and leave all ideas about activating its full version behind. We advise the immediate removal of this application because it is a fake AV which will fool you about supposedly attacking infections just to get your money. Even though Spyware Clear is not as disruptive and powerful as other dangerous rogues we have reported in the past (e.g., Win 7 Antispyware 2014 or Vista Antivirus 2014), it may be just as misleading. If you do not remove Spyware Clear and instead trust the intimidating scanner reports, it is likely that you will be fooled into purchasing a completely worthless security tool which will only take up space on the system. What is more, if you leave your virtual security in the hands of this fake tool, it is possible that you will suffer real malware attacks. Read more »
