I am the Dummie that books are printed about. I don't know if I blocked a compilation of adware in Comodo Dragon, I may have. Comodo makes ME decide what to allow or block and I usually don't know what to do. I do know I can no longer receive the newsletter or offers from petco.com, which I used a lot; MyCokeRewards.com and bit.ly. I cannot dl the CouponPrinterService.exe from Coupons.com, which I used everyday, until the printer app refused to function "AppError Oxc0000142". I stumbled on your site while trying to see if PrivDog is something I should disable. The trouble started in late September 2014, and I have exhausted all the power of my wee brain. Not to mention I dumped Pepsi on the keyboard yesterday and now I have to hit the buttons hard like the old typewriters (I said not to mention it.) I signed up again for the missing newsletters, but they still wont come in. I've tried talking to techies from various sites, but I still have no coupons. I use a Lenovo tower, Epson printer/scan/fax, Windows 8.1 in IE. Can you help this dummie recover her coupon printing and receiving of newsletters? THANK YOU.
