Coupon2Mac - How to remove

Coupon2Mac is yet another malicious application that you should not keep installed on your computer. Even though it can look as an useful application at a first sight, it’s not really true. If your computer is infected with Coupon2Mac, you can remove it either manually or automatically. It is much easier to do that automatically – simply download a trustworthy anti-malware program, such as Spyhunter, StopZilla or Malwarebytes and scan your computer with it. It will automatically detect and remove the virus, so you won’t need to worry about it anymore. And it will also protect your computer from possible infections in the future. However, if for some reasons you don’t want to download any anti-malware software, you can remove Coupon2Mac manually as well. Simply follow our step-by-step Coupon2Mac removal guide given below this article. In case you would like to find out more about this infection, please continue reading.

About Coupon2Mac

It is described as a powerful tool that will help you to save your time and money when shopping online by displaying various coupons, deals and commercial offers. However, this is not exactly true. Once installed this application will display various advertisements on your web browsers, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text and banner ads. New window or a tab can be opened on your web browser as well. They appear completely randomly, from time to time. Usually they show up on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon and offers you to purchase some particular goods at an appealing price rate. Even though those offers look really attractive, you should not believe it, because it’s just a trick to win your attention.

Coupon2Mac  is an advertising network and it’s not a secret that various cyber criminals, such as hackers and scammers use it. This means those advertisements are malicious and you should not click on them. If you do so, you will be immediately redirected to other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals and this can result in your computer getting infected, or even you getting scammed and losing your money.

The name of this application is misleading as well. It can look like it is only available on Mac OSX,  but it can work on Windows as well. It can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. They get paid for every click you make on those advertisements – that’s why they are trying to make them look very attractive and relevant to you.

For this purpose, Coupon2Mac  will collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, top visited sites, your IP and email addresses. They adjust those advertisements according to the given data and make them look even more interesting to you this way.

Even though it’s not a dangerous virus that can cause you a lot of harm, it can lead you to some more severe cyber security problems, thus it needs to be removed.

Distribution methods of Coupon2Mac

 Coupon2Mac usually travels bundled with other free software, such as various media players or PDF generators. I.e. when you download and install some software from a website that looks questionable, there is a chance that Coupon2Mac will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that. To avoid this happening, avoid downloading software from unreliable sourcers. However, if you have no other option, be really careful during the installation. Don’t rush, because some really important information can be displayed in a very tiny font. Look for various checkboxes that can be already checked for you.
In case your computer is already infecte dwith Coupon2Mac, wait no more and take needed actions to get rid of it right now.
