About Grocery Coupons
Grocery Coupons works as a browser add-on that can be added to all most popular web browsers, including Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Once inside, it will display various advertisements right on your web browser. Even though those advertisements look really tempting, you should not fall for that – it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on one of them. If you do so, you will be immediately redirected to some other websites that may be owned by cyber criminals, such as hacker and scammers. And this can infect your computer or if you attempt to purchase something there, you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money.
Keep in mind that Grocery Coupons adware seeks to gain revenue from you. Its creators get paid for every click you make on those advertisements, so they try to make them look relevant specifically to you. For this same reason they will collect your personal information, such as browsing history, search queries, Top visited sites or your IP address. Grocery Coupons will adjust those advertisements according to the collected data and make them matching to your hobbies this way, so chances that you will click on one of them rise.
Distribution Methods of Grocery Coupons
This adware is distributed in a very similar way to all other infections of this kind – bundled with freeware. For instance, when you download and install some free application from a website that looks not very reliable, there is a chance that Grocery Coupons will be installed alongside without you even being aware of that. To protect your computer from this infection, you should be really attentive during the installation of freebies (such as PDF generators, media players or software updates). Do not skip any steps (don’t just click “next” and “agree” buttons all the time before reading the whole information first) and opt out for a custom or advanced install mode if possible. This will allow you to see all available options and take control into your hands. Look for various check boxes that can be already selected for you. Don’t rush, because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you definitely don’t want to overlook that. In case it is too late and your computer is already infected, take needed actions right now and get rid of Grocery Coupons while it’s not too late.
