Re: Is installing a Coupon Printer safe? Thank you dsilvers,
Likely the couponprinter.exe is fine, the site is fine, and the whole deal is fine. (It is the same deal offered on the Bayer site).
But it is not worth it anymore to not ask if it is Safe.
I still, as EGeezer suggested above, think that nobody should be asking anyone to install an Active-X control to print a coupon. I have printed several, but have never had to install an Active-X control to do so.
Bayer, the owners of this product, should know this raises a concern. We have to educate the "push" sides of the malware equation as well as the "pull" side to act responsibly.
I personally think it was a great question to ask, and I personally appreciate the care taken to do so.
