If you dont know any good free downloads, what's the next best thing?
Flash Coupon is a nasty browser extension adware. You usually get it as an add-on with something else you've downloaded or installed.
Check your browser extensions, and disable/remove if listed. You can reset your browser to it's default settings. Also, go to you control panel "add/remove programs" and check for a Flash Coupon listing/ or anything saying "saver, discount, search assist, or surf", , or any new programs that were installed at about the same time you noticed the Flash Coupon starting to show up. Uninstall the program/s.
Malwarebytes is a terrific adware/malware program to use in addition to your regular anti-virus. Malwarebytes will often find and remove stuff that your anti-virus will miss. Once you install it (it's free), run a full scan.
As for an anti-virus program, I would highly recommend Bitdefender. It's a lightweight program, that doesn't require many resources/ I've used it and Malwarebytes for years...they've worked great for me.
