Wondering if this was just my experience or if others had problems as well...?

I've have had the same problem. Every few months, I have to disable it as it is spyware essentially. So my husband will download Avast and painstakingly go through everything on my puter and delete all things that have been added inadvertently through using that site.

Annoying to say the least. Just glad my husband is an IT guy, otherwise, I think I might have alot more problems.

We use Avast too! Is it worth it to go through and delete everything?

...I mean, are the coupons worth it? I never had the chance to use any of them before I got fed up and removed it .

I think so. My computer works as it should when goes through it. Avast does most of the work and once it is done, my husband just goes through and deletes all the programs that should not be on there.

I print out so many coupons that(to me) it is worth it, although, I have to say that I print the least from CouponBar so I could probably do without it.

Default Homesolutionsnews.com - can't get it to work

Hi Madeleine: I am new to all of the couponing but have been averaging saving $60 on my big shopping trips. I saw your post re: homesolutionsnews.com and I am not able to get the site to work. It will not move forward after I put in my country. There is no place to click. There is a place to go into the Corporate Site. Any tips for me to help me on this website. Thanks. lisa

Sign up with them and you can click and print the coupons. The coupons have the name you signed up under on them, thats kinda cute.
But HATE that the coupon prints in the middle of the page. No way to turn the paper over and print on the other side to get more coupons. Hate to waste paper.

Coupon bar is horrible. Lots of folks have had problems with it really slowing down their computer. I got rid of it immediately after downloading... it's just worth it in my opinion.

The printing download for smartsource sucks too. It comes up under my spyware program as a "medium" threat. I tend to download/install... print then uninstall and run a registry cleaner and spybot cleaner.

Question Printing Coupon Troubles

I have tried repeatedly everything, I mean everything but still cannot print any coupons except the ones from couponmom. None of the links from the site or even going to the site itself. I was so excited to find these sites but as the days go by with all the research and working with all information given still no luck. The happiness I had has gone to frustration and there were lots of coupons I wanted. I've tried so many times it even comes up that I have passed my coupon quota for these coupons but they have never printed. I keep getting the message to check my default printer, so if anyone has anything new for me to try I would be more than appreciative for help.
