What is FindingDiscount?

FindingDiscount (Finding Discount) is a potentially unwanted program, also known as a PUP, and adware that primarily installs alongside freeware and other unwanted objects. Once FindingDiscount adware is installed the program and programs that it bundles with will begin to access browsing data in order to serve targeted advertisements it feels internet users are most likely to click on. Furethermore, FindingDiscount and programs it bundles with can collect user browsing data and utilize the data for a variety of marketing purposes, including email spam, junk mail, and more.

Potential FindingDiscount malware is known to infiltrate computer systems and inject advertisements on webpages without user consent and knowledge. These advertisements may appear in hyper link text, as banners, new browser windows, and more. This program may also cause browser redirects to sponsored websites and search engines, such as Taplika.

This adware is often referred to as the FindingDiscount virus although it is not technically defined as a computer virus. This may be because the program shares the same traits as many malicious programs. It can keep deep into a computer system, it uses browser add-ons and extensions aside from programs it installs onto Windows Operating System, it usually installs alongside other unwanted programs and malware, and it is known to be very deceptive.

If FindingDiscount malware is installed onto a computer system is is likely that other programs will also need to be removed in order to fix a computer and browsers functionality and stop pop-up advertisements from appearing.
