Savings and Coupon Ads

What is Savings and coupon?

This removal guide explains how computer users can remove savings and coupon ads from appearing within their Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox). Within this article, the term 'savings and coupon ads' is used to describe potentially unwanted applications (adware) created by 215 Apps (also known as Innovative Apps or Engaging Apps).

These browser plugins self-install using free software 'download clients' and cause diminished browser performance, unwanted coupon ads when visiting online shopping websites, and may also lead to serious privacy issues.

Browser extensions created by this company are known to track users' Internet browsing habits by recording various information, including but not limited to, browser type, operating system type, and IP addresses.

A common source of savings and coupon ads-generating adware is free software download websites. Internet users should be aware that, today, most freeware download websites (including download.com, soft32.com, softonic.com, and many others) use download clients offering installation of browser add-ons together with the chosen free software.

Computer users, who do not pay close enough attention to the free software downloading steps, may inadvertently install potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), which can lead to unwanted ads and browser redirects.

Whilst savings and coupon ads (which appear on users' Internet browsers) are not caused by viruses or malware, this advertising is generated by adware, and therefore, you are advised to eliminate it from your Internet browser/s.

Savings and coupon adware developed by 215 Apps or Innovative Apps uses many names for the software. This company releases identical browser add-ons under different names in order to avoid detection by antivirus and anti-spyware programs. This fact reaffirms that you should not trust software developed by this company.

Internet users wishing to avoid installation of these potentially unwanted applications should be attentive when downloading free software. If your download is managed by a download client, opt-out of installation of any advertised browser extensions by clicking the 'decline' or 'skip' buttons.

It is also recommended that, where possible, you download free software directly from developers' websites rather than using free software download sites. When installing downloaded free programs, use the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal installation of any 'bundled' browser plugins.

If you observe savings and coupon ads when visiting online shopping websites (such as Walmart, Expedia, Kmart, Office Depot, PetSmart, Zales, etc.), use the removal instructions provided to eliminate adware from your Internet browser/s.
