DiscountBomb bombards you with numerous ads.
"I am having problems with adware, and disruption of use of Internet Explorer. Problems started about a week ago. Through Control Panel, I looked at a list of programs to uninstall, and found 4 unknown items on one recent date. I uninstalled 3 of them, but the 4th, DiscountBomb will not uninstall, although I get a message that it has been successfully uninstalled. Control Panel now no longer shows "Date Modified" or "Type"; the columns are blank."
