About Coupon Codes

Coupon Codes works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Even though it’s described as useful application that will enhance your web browsing and help you to save both your time and money when shopping online by providing you with various coupons, commercial offers and deals, this is not exactly true. All those commercial offers come in an annoying form of web advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements. A new window or tab can be opened on your web browser as well. Those advertisements usually appear on e-commerce websites, such as Amazon or eBay. You will be offered to purchase some particular goods at a very appealing price rate. Even though those offers look really attractive, you should not click on them because usually they are fake – it’s juts a trick to win your attention.

Coupon Codes is like a middleman between you and advertisers. They get paid for displaying advertisements on users’ web browsers. It’s not a secret that those sponsors often happen to be various cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers. Since they are banned from all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware like Coupon Codes to redirect traffic to their websites. That being said, if you have Coupon Codes installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you right on your web browser on a daily basis. If you click on one of those advertisements displayed by Coupon Codes, you will be immediately redirected to other websites. This may lead you to getting infected or if you attempt to purchase something there you can even get scammed and lose your money.

Another unwanted attribute of Coupon Codes is data collection. Once installed it will gether various information about your browsing habits, such as your browsing history, search queries, Top visited sites, your IP or/and email addresses. The third parties adjust their advertisements according to collected data and make them more interesting and attractive to you this way, so chances that you will click on one of them rise. And that’s the main goal of Coupon Codes creators, because they get paid for every click you make on those advertisements. If you have noticed that Coupon Codes is operating on your computer, wait no more and get rid of this malware.

Distribution Methods of Coupon Codes

Coupon Codes is usually travelling bundled with other free applications. I.e. when you download and install some software from the Internet, there is a chance that Coupon Codes will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that. So to avoid this happening, stay away from downloading software from unreliable sources. However, if you do not have any other choice, be really attentive during the installation of freebies. Don’t skip any step and always opt out for a custom or advanced install mode. This will allow you to see all available options. Don’t rush, because some really important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that. If you notice that some additional software that you are not aware of is being installed alongside, do not allow this to happen, as it can possibly be the Coupon Codes or any other malware.
