About Coupextensionz

Coupextensionz works as a browser add-on, that can be added to all most popular web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari. Once inside, it will display various advertisements, such as pop-up, pop-under, contextual or banner advertisements. They appear completely randomly, from time to time, and that’s really annoying. Even though those advertisements look really appealing, you should not click on them, because if you do so, you will be immediately redirected to some other websites that can be owned by cyber criminals and this may result in some unwanted consequences. For example, your computer can get infected or if you attempt to purchase something there, you can even get scammed and lose your hard earned money. Those advertisements often are fake – it’s just a trick to win your attention and make you click on them.

Coupextensionz is like an advertising network for cyber criminals – since they are banned from almost all legitimate advertising networks, they use adware such as Coupextensionz to promote their products and build traffic to their websites. This being said, if you have this malicious application installed on your computer, cyber criminals can reach you on a daily basis, right on your web browser. That’s why you should get rid of it as soon as possible.

Another unwanted feature of this adware is data collection. Once installed, it will collect various information about your browsing history and interests, such as search queries, browsing history, top visited sites, your IP and email addresses and similar information. The third parties adjust those advertisements according to collected data, so they look even more interesting and relevant to you this way. This means chances that you will click on one of them rise, and that’s the main goal of Coupextensionz  creators, because they get paid for every click you make.

In case you find this application useful, feel free to keep using it, yet we have to warn you about consequences you are possibly facing by using application like this:

• Slowed down computer. It is possible that your computer and especially web browsers will be running much slower due to advertisements and additional processes initiated by this virus.
• Additional threats coming your way. Cyber criminals are working with each other and usually adware like this is used to distribute other malware. So if you keep it installed on your computer, chances are that additional malware will come sooner or later.
• Worse internet browsing experience. Due to various ads and random freezes of web browsers, your web browsing experience will be not the same as it was previous to

  Coupextensionz.

Distribution methods of Coupextensionz

Coupextensionz is distributed mostly bundled with other free software, such as various PDF generators and media players. I.e. when you download and install a free application from the website that looks suspicious, there is a chance that Coupextensionz will be installed alongside, without you even being aware of that. To avoid this happening, you should be really attentive during the installation process of freebies. Do not skip any steps and if possible opt out for a custom or advanced install mode. This will allow you to see all available options. Reading all terms and conditions would be considered wise as well. Don’t rush, because some of the most important information can be displayed in a very tiny font and you don’t want to overlook that. If you see that some additional software is being installed alongside – do not allow this to happen, because it can be Coupextensionz or any other malware that you wouldn’t like to see installed on your computer.
