Help installing a program

My girlfriend wanted to get into using coupons since we moved in together and are trying to save some money. In order to print the majority of the ones on the internet you need to istall the coupon printer app. Which is fine I had it on a computer some time ago with no problems. But now with our new computer everytime I try to install it the program says I must be an administrator to complete. I am the administrative account and I tried right clicking and "run as admisistrator" with the same results.



Can anyone shed some light?

  • run windows repair all in one that might fix your issue. if it doesn't you might have a virus on your computer that changed your administrative rights.



    get the portable one (direct link) and turn off your anti virus shield protection other wise some repairs might not work.

  • If you have an active anti-spyware program (Malwarebytes, some of the newer antivirus programs as well), it'll block the coupon printer from installing.



    All the coupon printer program knows is that it's getting blocked, and that's the generic error message that it gives.
  • I think you guys were right. I temporarily disabled my anti virus and it worked. Thanks for the replies!

    Coupon Printer is a toolbar/add-on and is considered by nearly all AV programs as Adware/Spyware.  Just don't be surprised when you start getting pop ups and ads at random corners of websites.

    I never had that problem using it on my old computer. So I'm too worried. If it does somethig stupid or annoying I'll just remove it.

    yea most clients that bring their computers in to me that have it installed get ads on youtube, or the news sites and such for random stuff and they halways have a (Ads by CouponPrinterToolbar) banner on them.
