If you are an avid online shopper perhaps you would want to use such browser extension as Discount Dragon. This browser plugin can be downloaded at discount-dragon.com and installed on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. Discount Dragon provides you coupon deals for an extensive number of online stores, subsequently saving your money on various purchases. However, not all users are satisfied with this plugin. Some users think that Discount Dragon is an adware program, because it displays coupons and commercial advertisements whenever you land on a particular shopping website. If you do not want to have this plugin on your computer, you can easily remove Discount Dragon via Control Panel.
Discount Dragon is released by 215 Apps (else known as Innovative Apps) and there is actually a great number of similar plugins developed by the same publisher as well. For example, Supreme Savings, Deal Boat or InstantSavingsApp are all the same plugins only with different names. Just like its predecessors Discount Dragon displays coupon deals for Toys R Us, Zales, Expedia and other online stores. How does Discount Dragon know what kind of coupons and advertisements it has to display for you? Simple - the plugin uses cookies to collect your Internet browsing information, and then it displays ads that correspond to what you have been browsing on the web.
Discount Dragon is not dangerous all by itself - after all, it is a simple browser add-on. However, if it comes from a third party, and if it gets exploited by cyber criminals, it may become a mean of malware distribution, or it could steal your information and transfer it to cyber criminals. Even though the possibility of such course of actions is low, we highly recommend that you remove Discount Dragon from your PC.
