What is DiscountApp?

DiscountApp is a potentially unwanted application that runs in the web browser as a toolbar and web extension. The web extension is primarily designed to take control of the user's browser in order to modify the search provider and redirect web searches to the search engine partner the publisher has a revenue relationship with. In doing so, the toolbar performs a number of behaviors in order to maximize the potential of a user to click on sponsored advertising through search. It is typically installed via a bundled offer within a 3rd-party distribution.

From the EULA: "The Toolbar interacts with your computer by:

1. Displaying advertisements, including without limitation by inserting into web pages or displaying over parts of such web pages advertisements, banners or coupons that would not otherwise appear;

2. Converting words on pages you view into hyperlinks that are linked to advertisements;

3. Communicating with our servers to check for new offers, the placement of offers, the date and time you install and uninstall the Toolbar, and whether an updated version of the Toolbar is available;

4. Monitoring and recording the domain name of each page you view, the advertisements that appear on these pages, and the advertisements that you click; and

5. The Toolbar contains the third-party software (”Other Software”)."
