Remove Coupon Companion Plugin by 215 Apps

Coupon Companion by Red Online Marketing Group is a Browser Helper Object installed into Internet Explorer that monitors web pages for possible affiliate merchant partners. Coupon Companion will let you know when there are coupons by showing a counter in the top right of Web sites.

Coupon Companion is an adware type program that has causes serious performance issues to your PC by installing a number of plug-ins and add-ins to your web browser and Windows. It injects ads directly by modifying web pages based on your surfing habits. When you install the plug-in, it also has a background process that will attempt to disabled other 'conflicting' extensions that might interfere with it, this includes other competing products as well as some security products (in the software's EULA, you actually agreed to this).

From the Terms of Service provided:
"By installing the Plugin, you consent to the Plugin in disabling other conflicting software and we understand you have chosen to use our software to customize your social media pages over other available software packages.

The Plugin may automatically download and install updates from time to time from Licensor. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the Plugin and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit Licensor to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the Plugin.

In addition, the Plugin may be bundled with, or require the installation of, third-party software, such as but not limited search engine toolbars. Such bundling enables the Plugin to perform the functions requested by you and to collect information as described in our Privacy Policy or provides us with the resources to develop and update the Plugin."
