DigiCoupon - How to remove

DigiCoupon is one annoying adware listed as a PUP (potentially unwanted program) as well. It works as a browser add-on and can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Even though developers of this adware promise that it will enhance your browsing experience by providing you some valuable coupons and save both your time and money when shopping online this way, but it is not true and you should not believe it.

Instead of valuable offers you will receive tons of pop-up ads on your web browser. Most of the time DigiCoupon ads show op on e-commerce websites like Amazon or eBay. It is not recommended to click on those ads because once you do that, you will be immediately redirected to third parties websites that may be infected and some harm to your computer. Why this is not a good idea to keep this program on your computer.

DigiCoupon is an ad-supporter. It generates web traffic to third parties websites, collects sales leads and make money this way. Furthermore, it will collect your personal information like IP address, search queries and browsing history in order to adjust their ads according to this data and make them more attractive to you.

DigiCoupon is distributed bundled with other free software. That being said, in order to avoid this malicious program you need to be very careful during the installation of freebies downloaded from a suspicious looking websites. Do not skip any steps and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode. Read all terms and conditions and make sure you are aware of what is being installed. In case your computer is already infected with it, we highly recommend to scan it with a trustworthy anti-malware like Spyhunter or malwarebytes and remove it completely. If you prefer to do this manually, just follow our step-by-step DigiCoupon removal guide below.
