StormCloud

StormCloud is an extension for your Chrome browser that you should not install. Even though the services that the program promises seem to be alluring, you need to make sure that the program does not enter your operating system. More importantly, you need to make sure that you do not pay money for the services of StormCloud, because they are completely worthless. If you do decide to use the Pro version, you will have to pay from 0.99 to 2.99USD, and the program does not deserve one cent. According to our malware researchers at Anti-Spyware-101.com, the application does not fulfill its promises regardless of which version you install, and so we recommend removing StormCloud as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). You can read the report to learn how the application works, or you can go straight to the “How to remove StormCloud” section to learn how to get rid of the PUP. Read more »

Reprice

Reprice cannot change the prices of the products you are interested in; however, this is the program that supposedly can locate and offer you the best discounts. Unfortunately, our Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have discovered that the program cannot even do that. First of all, we recommend removing Reprice because this application is affiliated with certain companies, which means that the services are likely to be biased.

GetDiscountApp

GetDiscountApp is a JustPlugIt adware application. Similar to other adware made using the JustPlugIt engine, like SharkManCoupon, SaveON, LuckyCoupon, and others, GetDiscountApp enters your system as a browser extension on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. Then, it starts gathering your browsing data. While it does not collect personally identifiable information, GetDiscountApp does track the websites you visit and what you do there. It uses this data to personalize the ads it shows you as pop-ups, banners, and coupons. These advertisements are very annoying and not useful at all, so you should remove GetDiscountApp. Read more »
