Trunk Of Savings
Trunk Of Savings is a program that seems to be useful for many people who shop online because this program promises to provide users with the best promotional codes. If we believe the information provided on its official website, Trunk Of Savings will show coupons to you automatically when you shop and you will simply need to click on a coupon to apply it to your purchase. It really seems that Trunk Of Savings is a beneficial program; however, the majority of users decide to remove it after some time because it is definitely more annoying than beneficial. On top of that, many users notice that this program does not act as it promises. In other words, it does not do anything useful but show various commercial advertisements. As Trunk Of Savings generates ads, specialists put it into the category of advertising-supported applications (adware). We do not think that it is the best idea to keep adware installed, so if you agree with us, you should continue reading this article to find out how to erase it. Read more »

CoffeeFeed
CoffeeFeed is the name of a completely worthless application that is, in fact, an adware program. Our malware specialists at Anti-Spyware-101.com have discovered that this application is identical to other ad-supported programs, such as FlashBeat, DoReMe, and NavRight, which we have already covered on our website. Having this adware on your computer can totally destroy your net surfing experience with its third-party advertisements that may come in different forms, including in-texts, banners, and pop-ups. Not only that, but these ads may also present you with certain dangers since you can never be sure where you might end up if you click on them. Landing on harmful websites can cause severe system security issues. Therefore, we think that you had better delete CoffeeFeed from your system if you intend to keep it clean from further infections.

DropIntoDeals
DropIntoDeals is yet another useless application from Engaging Apps that pretends to be beneficial by alerting you about coupons on “thousands of participating e-commerce sites.” In reality, this browser extension is nothing else but an adware program. It is only beneficial for its developers by displaying third-party advertisements. Of course, you also need to click on those ads for the developers to make money as that is how this adware generates traffic for affiliated partners. You need to understand that by clicking on third-party ads you do not only support possible cyber criminals, but there is also a chance that you get redirected to unsafe websites. Adware applications are also distributed together with other malware programs most of the time, which may mean multiple security threats for you if you did not install a standalone version. All in all, according to our researchers you should delete DropIntoDeals if you intend to keep your system’s integrity. Read more »
