What is Cash Kitten?
If you are looking for a program that should help you with your online shopping experience, you must know that a program called Cash Kitten is not the one that you should use. Make sure to avoid it under any circumstances as this application is not that it might seem to be. This is so because on its official website this piece of software is promoted as a tool that should be a great asset while you are shopping online; it should present you with various discount deals, coupons, and promotional codes, that should be the main reason you might spend less money online. It goes without saying that if you are a frequent online shopper, it might sound like an excellent tool to have running on your PC. Unfortunately, in reality, this application is just another adware program which is of no use whatsoever. All the marketing gimmicks are used to lure naïve Internet users into obtaining this piece of software without realizing what it really does. If by any chance you have this program installed on your computer, make sure to take appropriate measure to delete Cash Kitten since it will cause endless annoyance while you are surfing the web as long as it is active on your computer.
What does Cash Kitten do?
As soon as Cash Kitten enters your operating system it implements browser extensions to popular web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The extensions are one of the main reasons this adware program is able to provide all ads, pop-ups, and coupons. The invasive extensions works with a background system service in order to contact numerous adware servers. The unfortunate fact is that nothing that this ad-supported program might present you with is actually useful. All the ads, pop-ups, and coupons are utterly worthless; thus, they will only cause tons of disruptions while you are surfing the web. The most annoying thing about such activity is the fact that at random times your web browser could get flooded with so much of that unwanted web content that surfing the web could be out of the question. Unfortunately, by deleting the browser extension only, you will not be able to terminate this invasive activity entirely since the background system service could be enough to establish connections to those suspicious adware servers. Therefore, you must delete Cash Kitten as whole if you wish to surf the way you are used to; otherwise, the intrusive web content will continue to bother you.
