Everyone who has downloaded this crap I would seriously recommend a thorough virus scan!
So, at the moment this "deal" gets 177 heat for a virus!!!! Absolutely Unbelievable! Is it worth it for a drink of water? :confused:

Symantec, McAfee, Microsoft and a few other large organisations deem the file to be safe, it just depends on how strict the software is.

Win32:Adware-gen [Adw] is a program that contains adware, installs toolbars or will display pop-up advertisements on the computer.
Win32:Adware-gen [Adw] it’s technically not a virus, but it does exhibit plenty of malicious traits, such as rootkit capabilities to hook deep into the operating system, browser hijacking, and in general just interfering with the user experience. The industry generally refers to it as a “PUP,” or potentially unwanted program.
The Win32:Adware-gen [Adw] infection is designed specifically to make money. It generates web traffic, collects sales leads for other dubious sites, and will display advertisements and sponsored links within your web browser.

You're not really being helpful flimbo. This software is now very commonly being used. I've seen a lot of big companies use it, and have never heard of anyone being affected by spyware, adware or other malicious software from using it :L Including myself.
Do what you like but people shouldn't miss out on a deal because of paranoia, the fact most virus detectors see it as perfectly ok should be a good sign.

If you don't like it, don't get it. No one's forcing you to.

Avast has automatically put it in their filter of Win32:Adware-gen [Adw] programs. probably because it creates popups when installing. http://help.coupons.com/articles/60-Why-does-my-antivirus-software-warn-me-when-I-download-the-Coupon-Printer
