NetoCoupon Adware

What is NetoCoupon?

NetoCoupon is an adware-type browser plug-in that employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of additional programs together with the chosen free software) to install on Internet browsers without users' permission.

After successful infiltration on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox, NetoCoupon generates various intrusive online advertisements including banner, in-text, pop-up, etc., which are likely to cause high-risk adware or malware infections when clicked.

Furthermore, NetoCoupon continually monitors users' Internet browsing activity by collecting various software and hardware information such as websites visited, search queries, pages viewed, IP addresses, and other details that may be personally identifiable. This behavior can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft.

There are many browser extensions similar to NetoCoupon. FindingDiscounts, Safer Browser, and PlusBrowserApps are just some examples among many others. Neither NetoCoupon, nor any of these other applications, provide any significant value for the user, and for these reasons, you are strongly advised to eliminate NetoCoupon from your Internet browsers.

NetoCoupon is distributed using small download programs (called 'download clients', 'installers', 'download managers', etc.) on freeware download websites such as softonic.com, download.com, soft32.com, and many others.

Download programs are used to monetize these websites' traffic and free services by offering installation of advertised (according to the developers, '100% legitimate and virus-free') applications and browser plug-ins together with the chosen software.

Thus, reckless download and installation of freeware risks computer infection with adware or malware. To avoid installation of adware-type applications such as NetoCoupon, closely inspect each step of the free software download procedure and click 'Decline' when installation of additional software is offered.

Furthermore, when installing downloaded programs, select the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal any concealed applications listed for installation and allow you to uncheck them. If you have installed NetoCoupon, follow the instructions provided to uninstall this adware immediately.
