Coupontabsearch.com Virus - How to remove

Coupontabsearch.com may seem a spick-and-span search engine at the first glance. But it is the case of a misleading appearance, as this application is, actually, a browser hijacker developed by Upside Innovations Inc. Browser hijackers are fake search engines, having no functionality of rendering search results. These programs modifies the search results of the legitimate and widely used search providers (in this case Yahoo! Search) to display you scam advertising content of 3rd party. Thus, such applications as Coupontabsearch.com were attributed to PUPs (potentially unwanted programs) long ago.

Coupontabsearch.com replaces your default homepage, search engine and a new tab page just like a krupje changes cards at the beginning of each game. Just so simply. Your new search engine which is, by the way, a rogue one, redirects to Yahoo! Search. But there is nothing to be happy about, as the websites you are rendered with have bad company – the sponsored sites of 3rd party scam advertisers. Additionally, the small number of authentic web pages, displayed by the actual Yahoo, are corrupted with the scam advertisements of the same affiliated parties. So, either way, you are given bad cards, which guarantee you are going to loose the game. The krupje, here, which leads the game is the shady Coupontabsearch.com plug-in.

The shortcuts to CouponUnity, Groupon.com, Coupons.com, Couponbox.com, FaceBook, YouTube and Gmail, it contains under the search bar on the main search page, can be added quickly and easily by yourself, you do not need to deal with such a swindler.
