About Coupilation adware

Even though it is described as useful application that will help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, deals and commercial offers, this is not true. The problem is that all those offers and coupon come in annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual ads. New tab or even window with advertisement on it can be opened on your web browser at any time as well.

Another unwanted attribute of Coupilation is data collection. Once installed it will collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, most visited websites or even your IP and email addresses. They adjust those advertisements according to collected data and make them even more relevant and attractive to you, so chances that you will click on one of them rise this way. And that’s the main goal of Coupilation because they get paid for every click you make.
