About Ext Coupons adware

Ext Coupons works as browser add-on that can be added to all most common web browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer or even Safari. This means Apple users can get infected as well.

Even though it’s 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. Once installed Ext Coupons will display various advertisements on all of your web browsers in all kinds of forms, such as pop-up, pop-under, in-text, banner or contextual advertisements.Usually they appear on e-commerce websites, such as eBay or Amazon and offers you to purchase some particular goods at very appealing price rate. However, don’t fall for that trick – most of the time those offers are fake, they are just trying to win your attention and make you click on those ads.

It’s the main goal of Ext Coupons because developers of this malware gets paid for every click you make on those ads. And we don’t recommend to do that because this way your computer can get infected with other viruses or you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.

Distribution Methods of Ext Coupons adware

Ext Coupons is distributed bundled with other freeware. For instance, when you download and install some free software from unreliable websites, there is a chance that Ext Coupons will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that.
