What is Discount Cow?

Discount Cow is a potentially unwanted application that we categorize as adware. This means that Discount Cow has been created with the intent to make easy money for its developers. Unlike rogue antispyware or ransomware applications, this adware program is not a malicious computer infection.

It would be in your best interests to remove Discount Cow from your computer because you can never know what malicious third parties this application could be related to.test 100% FREE spyware scan and

Where does Discount Cow come from?

This adware application does not have one exact distribution source. Our research team says that the homepage used to be located at discount-cow.com, but it is obvious the page is no longer working. Therefore, we can assume that if Discount Cow enters your computer, it does so via a third-party website.

The most common method of distribution for adware applications is bundled downloads. This means that users download and install potentially unwanted applications themselves via third-party file sharing websites. Quite often, users do not even realize that they install additional programs along with the one they wanted to download. Hence, if you must download a program, please download it at the official website.

What does Discount Cow do?

Since Discount Cow is an adware application, it displays commercial advertisements. According to the official stance, this program is supposed to help users save money when they shop online. This means that Discount Cow displays coupons and discount offers on almost every online shopping mall.

Unfortunately, just like many other adware applications of the same profile, Discount Cow does not live up to its promises. Although the application displays coupons and discount offers, they cannot be trusted. Discount Cow does not check whether the links embedded in its ads are safe. Third-party content is not covered by Discount Cow’s privacy policy, so, even if you get redirected to a malicious website, the program is not the one to blame.
