    Talking

    Windows 7 ( 64 bit )

    As of when I posted this, there has been no unwanted in-linking or ads - Firefox responds much faster.

    I still am trying to figure out what installed Coupon Companion on my system with out my consent ....

    Did you download anything from CNET? See http://www.facebook.com/cnet/posts/10151146661732275

    Unhappy

    .... I was unaware that CNET now has adware in their downloader !

    The date on "Coupon Companion" matches the date I downloaded "Magic Unlocker Assistant" http://download.cnet.com/Unlocker/3000-2248_4-11749326.html

    Question

    Will Spybot recognize Coupon Companion as a PUP in a future update ?
