Bee Coupons Analysis

Actually, bee coupon is not that horrible as many people think. It is no more than an adware adopting BHO and JS techniques with an aim at promoting business. It is not a virus at all, that’s why anti-virus programs are not able to remove it. Yet its unsolicited installation and reimage do arouse panic and concerns, Let’s have a glance at the causes and reasons.

How Bee Coupons Gets on A Machine?
As a sales promotional tool, bee coupon needs to cooperate with other products so as to push itself quick into the market. Being a starter, no big brand would post product on its site, but freeware/shareware will since those kind of programs need to get money from high usage rate so as to keep operating. In other word, bee coupons helps those programs to reach more PC users and those programs allow its bundle in return. And drive-by download is the common way for bee coupons to get onto your computer. Therefore, it is recommended to apply customized installation method over recommended installation method.

Why Bee Coupons Keeps Coming Back?
The reason can be figured out easily which is incomplete removal. Though bee coupons is not a virus, its BHO technique and JS technique would download its executable file (including extension), .dll file (the one to keep it working) and .dat file (the one containing its information). It is clear now that bee coupons is not just about browser issue, but also system issue. Removing bee coupons from browser settings are way too far from complete removal.

Potential Dangers
Bee Coupons’ behaviors seem to be normal now. However, it should be removed as soon as possible not only because of the irritating scenario it arouses, but also because of potential dangers. Random injections of additional items into system configuration can lead to vulnerability which is easily to be exploited by destructive infections. Once being taken advantage, BHO and JS techniques will be utilized to commit misdeeds:

1. BHO technique was created to help programmers to customize surfing experience; thus it allows direct download and installation; once being exploited, virus components will be downloaded without being interfered.
2. JS technique has been applied to help remember log-in credentials to save trouble and direct people to the most-visited sites faster; once being taken advantage by infections, it will help the evil to collect log-in credential to endanger your information security.
