KFC, Oprah, Free Chicken and SPYWARE
May 6, 2009 | United States | Vetting explained
Wow, watch Oprah, go to her website, and download up to four coupons for free KFC meals. Seem too good to be true? That's because it is. In order to print the coupons, you need to download and install a program called "Coupon Printer". Why is this a problem? Because coupon printer is spyware. I first found out when my Spybot, seach and destroy program tipped me off. Spybot found and removed seven items related to this program. I then did some web searching and found this article:

I THINK I have removed all their crap from my system. Frankly, I would have passed on the free chicken if I knew what strings were attached.
Print the coupons at your own risk!
