We have found that Underground Coupon was published by MDMExclusives/MyDailyMoment, which is a known trademark of Flatiron Media. This company may be located in the state of New York, US but that is unconfirmed information. In any case, not much is known about this company, but from what we have found, it is relatively new to the adware scene. This company has emerged at the beginning of 2016 and since then it has steadily released new editions of adware. Underground Coupon is the newest addition to the “fleet,” but we want to mention some of its older clones that are still around and they include CrunchTravel, Social Pogo, and Flexible Family. Note that all of these programs referred to above are disseminated in pretty much the same way, so on that note, let us see how is distributed.

We have found that like most of its clones, it is advertised by browser hijackers that feature a link to its main website Undergroundcoupon.com. We have also discovered that it may be advertised by other adware-type applications, but we have yet to find an example of this promotion method. In any case, the promotions via adware should also redirect you to the main website mentioned above. Some of this program’s clones are also distributed using bundled software that is hosted on freeware-distributing internet sites. At any rate, the installer featured on Undergroundcoupon.com is a deceptive one. It counts on your inattentiveness to install additional software.

So you have to click decline not to install these applications. At any rate, you should avoid installing Underground Coupon as well.

Once the installation process is complete, this program will force open Internet Explorer and load http://interest6.valuedinformation.com/numbers/?t=5&c1=UAOCD::. This website is set to load only one time, but it is not dangerous since all of the links featured on it do not work. You can either launch this application using the shortcut on the desktop, but it will often launch at random and display its promotions using a dedicated adverting window and Internet Explorer. Both of these platforms show different content but run simultaneously.

While testing this adware we have found that it promotes all kinds of shady content. It might show you a certificate claiming that you have won a $ 3, 500-worth of prizes that include an iPad Mini, Samsung Smart TV, and a few others. Also, Internet Explorer might load various questionable advertising websites, such as http://savings-galleria.com/?agent_ID=202081&campaign_ID=6389. Our analysis has shown that in some cases this application may offer you to install Adobe Flash Player. However, its installer is bundled with potentially unwanted programs, such as One System Care, Money Viking, and Eshield Safe Search. Now, the Adobe Flash Player that you get is legitimate, but the programs that come with it are of questionable reliability, we recommend that you search our website for more information about them.
