Have you been redirected while surfing online every once in a while to some ads web sites asking if you want to install free add-ons? Have you recently just got redirected to a webpage about a Discount Buddy browser plug-in? Is this browser add-on legit? Is it going to stop popping up if one installs it?
Discount Buddy is one of the browser add-ons that we come across on our browsers including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome every once in a while. These browser add-ons usually provide conveniences and shortcuts on many things especially free online coupons, discounts and similar things. They help you search and find out these good stuff when you are surfing online. This Discount Buddy is an extension created by the 215 Apps. It says it will help you “Save more money when you shop online”. One can click on “Download now!” green button in the bottom and install this plug-in on Google Chrome, Firefox or IE. Once it’s installed, you will be able to save more money when shopping online because it can provide you with different kinds of discounts and coupons. However, this Discount Buddy add-on is not very friendly. First of all, it’s installed without consent. And second of all, it can redirect you to unwanted and annoying places online.
