When you install these free programs, they will also install Coupon Genie as well. Some of the programs that are known to bundle Coupon Genie include 1ClickDownload, Yontoo and FBPhotoZoom.<br \/>\nOnce installed, whenever you will browse Expedia, Best Buy, Facebook or any other similar websites, Coupon Genie will show in the right top part of your browser, a box containing related keyword suggestions, ads and sponsored links.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You should always pay attention when installing software<\/strong> because often, a software installer includes optional installs, such as this Coupon Genie browser hijacker.
