| Description:

Ebates MoneyMaker is an adware program that displays a number of popup adverts. Ebates MoneyMaker tries to disable programs that might interfere with its operation without your consent. This includes popup blockers.
The Moe Money Maker pops a small window reminding you that you could be saving when you visit a shopping site without clicking through Ebates first. You may then click on the window to be routed to Ebates. From the Ebates site, you may click through to your desired merchant so that you can earn cash back on all of your purchases.
The Moe Moneymaker loads everytime your computer loads, and runs in the background displaying targeted popups.
Ebates Money Maker is bundled with file sharing programs such as Grokster and Limewire.
From the developer:

This may be done a)by presenting a choice in a pop up alert asking whether you wish to save by shopping through Ebates, thereby directing your browser through Ebates in order to ensure you earn a reward, or b)by automatically routing you through Ebates and automatically earning you a cash-back discount with no further action on your part being necessary. 3)Ebates may disable or uninstall any other product or software tool that might interfere with the operability of the Moe Money Maker Software or otherwise preempt or render inoperative the Moe Money Maker Software in a manner that might jeopardize the ability of Ebates to earn you cash back discounts or coupon savings offered by Ebates. In installing the Moe Money Maker Software, you authorize Ebates to disable, uninstall, or delete any application or software that might, in Ebates' opinion nullify its function and put you at risk of loosing the cash-back savings that Moe Money Maker Software is designed to earn you.
