Mycouchtuner - How to remove

Mycouchtuner is described by its developers as a very convenient service to get access to various TV series. It provides its users with an option to filter popular TV shows and watch them online. In spite of the positive functionality for some groups of people, Mycouchtuner also hosts links to the websites involved in illegal movie streaming. Additionally, it is related to several rogue advertising networks and may forward the browser to numerous dubious pages.

Mycouchtuner service is promoted through the same channels used for distributing PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), rogue security tools, fake driver-updating utilities and so on. We strongly advise you not to use the streaming functions rendered by Mycouchtuner or any other websites involved in the aforesaid illegal activities.

Mycouchtuner impact on your browser

In spite of certain advertised valuable functions provided by Mycouchtuner, the program additionally introduces a lot of amendments into the system that allow it to function as adware. These are some common symptoms you may expect to occur because of Mycouchtuner enabled:

• placement of an intrusive advertisement on top of the main content;
• the permanent occurrence of pop-ups with random redirections to dubious resources;
• redirections to third-party websites;
• showing intrusive web push notifications;
• diminished functionality of your browser;
• negative impact on system performance.

The list of the damaging impact of Mycouchtuner on your computer is not limited to the items mentioned above. The problem is that the Mycouchtuner service is interconnected with several adware programs or advertising companies that attempt to promote their content through your browser. Sooner or later, your computer may be injected with more damaging programs that may be installed as a result of suspicious redirections integrated into Mycouchtuner.

Advertisement banners by Mycouchtuner do not intend to provide you with relevant information. Instead, you may be redirected to the websites that promote the installation of unwanted browser extensions, spyware, fake drive-updating tools and other software that is absolutely not needed.

Finally, Mycouchtuner works as spyware in your computer. It tracks important information about your browsing habits, it analyzes your search preferences and other important details related to your behavior online. The collected information may become exposed to cyber threats who will manipulate it in an absolutely illegal form.

How to remove the adware promoting Mycouchtuner

After reading the information about Mycouchtuner above you will surely come to the correct conclusion not to use its services. However, the problem is that your browser may still periodically display ads that will promote Mycouchtuner and other similar websites. If this behavior is beyond your control, the chances are that the computer is contaminated with specific adware that results in the aforesaid malicious behavior.

We recommend you to thoroughly examine the list of your available programs. Look for the items that look suspicious and that you do not remember installing directly. Remove them right away. The problem, however, is that right now there are many samples of adware that are very sophisticated. They cannot be visually discovered when you inspect your available programs in the Control Panel. Outwardly you may not find anything suspicious at all. However, your computer will keep encountering a lot of problems, such as high CPU usage, system slowdown, continuous freezing resulting in possible periodical crashes. Some adware may work through the browser extension, but inspecting these browser settings will not detect anything unfamiliar either. Considering these facts, we strongly advise you to scan your computer with Spyhunter anti-malware program that will help you to identify other concealed infections and to remove them in the proper way.
