[s-cars] NAC - Free KFC Grilled chicken dinner (S!)

[qshipq at aol.com]

 Ok, nerd that I am when it comes to free lunches,? I stopped at 6 coupons, since I'd like to eat something else than KFC between now and the 19th.? Same computer, less than 20 minutes here's the scoop.
Download the coupon program and run it (man do I sweat about .exe files), your program files will now include:
Coupon Printer for Windows
Coupon and Offers (Adware.Coupon malware)

Run the program, and print off the coupon (I actually downloaded CPfW twice and got it to run two separate coupons at the same time, but let's not complicate this).? If you try to do it again, it will say you already printed off the number allowed....? To fix that little problem:

Go to Control Panel: Add/Remove Programs:? <Remove> "Coupon Printer for Windows"
(When you try: <Remove> "Coupons and Offers", it's attached deep-W as John points out below as you get a <sys file find> Error)

I jumped out, and ran the quick scan on my free Anti-Malware Program, it found and removed Adware.Coupons "Coupons and Offers" as Malware almost immediately.? A quick look at the file shows it contains a pretty Register Key ID string that is likely what Coupon Printer looks for when you go to print a second coupon.

To verify cleanliness, I shut down the PC in case of IP address tracking, restarted and did the procedure all over again.? No problems printing multiple coupons this way, other than the site is pretty busy.? I'd go at it closer to midnight tonight if my teen really wants more chicken between now and 5-19

Total time per coupon was less than 4 minutes when the site was not busy.? What would you do for free chicken?? 

Lord help me for actually posting all this....

Cheers

Scott "KFC'd" J

I just did a quick search on the software you have to install to print
this coupon and from what I quickly took away from a few security
boards I searched is that it is not worth it (to me at least) for a
free lunch...  You cannot completely uninstall the coupon printer
software and it hides itself on your machine using "Microsoft" file
names.  While it is not openly blatant malware, it still will leave
enough crap behind and collect some pretty sensitive machine info on
every computer it is installed on.

FWIW......there is no such thing as a free lunch!
