CouponDropDown is a PUP, or potentially unwanted program, that displays pop-ups and advertisements on web pages that you visit. These advertisements will be shown as boxes containing various coupons that are available or as underlined keywords, which when clicked will display an advertisement that states it is brought to you by CouponDropDown. CouponDropDown is an add-on for Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome that is typically installed when you install other free programs. When you install these free programs, they will also install CouponDropDown as well. Some of the programs that are known to bundle CouponDropDown include 1ClickDownload, Yontoo, and FBPhotoZoom.
