Isn't the software/program named Coupoon a bona fide malware?
I kept seeing fines named updatecheck.exe and amazon music helper.exe(or similar) and wikiupdate.exe.
My machine (Win Vista 32 vit home on core 2 duo Intel Dell Vostro 200) would come to its knees after a couple of hours of being up due to those programs.
I am using the free version of spybot and the file cleaner passes all the files under c:\program files\coupoon as clean. See the attached image.
I wonder if I am mistaken in believing that coupoon is malware as I did not knowingly install it or is it a candidate for addition to spybot's list of valid malware list.
BTW, if I add very large dir tree (12K files) to be scanned, it freezes and does not recover after 4-5 hours. Had to kill the process.
A bit late for that!
Yesterday, Avira or malawarebytes finally identified it as a virus and removed it.
And, since it was installed maliciously, I did not see any installer or uninstaller.
