What is Cant Miss Coupons?
Created by a company called Engaging Apps, Cant Miss Coupons is a potentially unwanted application, which employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to install on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome) without users' consent.
Commonly, users install this application while downloading free software downloaded from freeware download websites such as softonic.com, download.com, soft32.com, and many others.
Following successful infiltration, Cant Miss Coupons monitors users' Internet browsing activity by recording various software and hardware information including website browsing information (URLs visited, pages viewed, cookies, search queries entered, etc.), user locations, IP addresses, and other similar information.
This behavior may lead to serious privacy issues or identity theft. Furthermore, Cant Miss Coupons generates various intrusive online advertisements, including, for example coupons, in-text, sponsored link, interstitial, and banner ads. Clicking these advertisements may cause high-risk malware infections.
The Cant Miss Coupons add-on claims to enhance users' online shopping experience by enabling coupon shopping and displaying discounted goods. Although this may seem a legitimate browser extension, Cant Miss Coupons is categorized as adware, since it diminishes browser performance and causes unwanted online ads.
The presence of adware such as Cant Miss Coupons on your system may lead to serious privacy issues or malware infections, and therefore, you are strongly advised to remove this application from your computer. Cant Miss Coupons is distributed via small programs called 'download managers' within freeware download websites.

To prevent these infections, closely inspect each step during the download of freeware and click the 'Decline' button when installation of additional programs is offered. If you have already installed Cant Miss Coupons, follow this removal guide to eliminate it from your Internet browsers.
