Are you being assaulted by annoying pop-ups that seemingly come out of nowhere? You want to deal with this problem, but you have no idea what is causing it? Our money is on CoupMania. It is one of the many adware programs that try to convince users they can help them save money when users shop online. Unfortunately, history shows that unless you remove CoupMania as soon as possible, such adware programs eventually expose users to potential computer security risks. In this description, we will tell you what kind of risks you face by having this adware on your PC. We will also tell you how to get rid of it.
We recognize that there is a problem with CoupMania the moment we find out which family it is from. This application belongs to the so-called semi-random name adware or the Multiplug group. This means that there are multiple other adware applications that are practically identical to CoupMania. For example, CoinSave, WorkApp, RepliApp, MonsonRevenue, and many others. All these programs, along with CoupMania get distributed bundled with freeware. That is to say, users do not understand they download these applications until it is too late to do anything about the installation.
Like other programs in the group, CoupMania is based on the JustPlugIt engine, and it mostly travels via the InstallRex, Vittalia, and Amonetize installers. We would like to point out that when you install this adware program, you might also accidentally install other unwanted and sometimes even dangerous applications. For instance, CoupMania is known to be often distributed together with the Websearch family browser hijackers and the potentially unwanted program EZDownloader. In other words, aside from seeing a lot of annoying pop-ups on your screen, you might also experience an unsolicited browser settings modification that definitely crosses all the lines there are.
Now, if we were to focus on this adware program alone, it is not something you can take lightly either. CoupMania adds extensions to your default browser, and the application affects Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer. The extensions are there to collect data on what websites you visit; so that the program would know what kind of content it should add into its ads. The problem is that CoupMania does not actually check whether the links in its ads are trustworthy. Thus, if you happen to click a corrupted link, you might be redirected to a website that collects your data for online marketing purposes, or even worse: There is a good chance that CoupMania could be misused for malware distribution, too!
Hence, it is clear why adware programs cannot be trusted. You have to delete CoupMania immediately before you face severe computer security problems. Luckily, all the Multiplug applications can be uninstalled via Control Panel. Do not forget that you will also have to delete CoupMania from Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox manually.
On top of that, you should also scan your computer with the SpyHunter free scanner. As mentioned above, CoupMania usually gets distributed with other programs, and it might come with really dangerous applications! Thus, you have to make sure that you remove all the potential threats at once because you have to keep your PC safe.
