Ads by Internet Cupom

What is Internet Cupom?

According to the developers, Internet Cupom saves time and money by providing coupons, displaying special deals/discounts available on various online stores, enabling comparison shopping, and other similar functionality.

On initial inspection, this functionality might appear legitimate and useful, however, Internet Cupom is categorized as adware and a potentially unwanted program (PUP). This is due to Internet Cupom's behavior, which includes stealth installation, display of intrusive online advertisements, and tracking of Internet browsing activity.

Internet Cupom generates intrusive online advertisements such as coupons, banner, comparison shopping, and pop-up ads. None originate from users' visited websites and overlay web page content, thereby significantly diminishing the Internet browsing experience.

Although most of these ads redirect users to various e-commerce sites such as online stores, some lead to infectious sites. Therefore, clicking advertisements generated by this PUP is risky and might cause further adware or malware infections. Another downside of Internet Cupom is information tracking.

This PUP tracks search queries entered into search engines, website URLs visited, pages viewed, Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (used to determine geographic location), and other similar data that might be personally identifiable and is shared with third parties.

These parties often misuse personal data to generate revenue. This situation can lead to serious privacy issues or even identity theft. You are strongly advised to eliminate Internet Cupom adware immediately.

Internet Cupom is similar to Dealz, FashionLifeapp, CashBack, and hundreds of other PUPs also claiming to save time and money while shopping online.

By falsely claiming to provide useful features, these apps attempt to trick users to install. After successful system infiltration, these applications provide none of the functions promised. Internet Cupom, and other similar apps, generate intrusive online ads and continually monitor Internet browsing activity.

How did Internet Cupom install on my computer?

The developers employ a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' (stealth installation of third party software with regular software/apps) to distribute Internet Cupom.

Therefore, many users install this program inadvertently. Research shows that developers hide potentially unwanted programs within the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings, since they are aware that many users skip this section. Unaware of this, users rush the download and installation processes, often leading to inadvertent installation of PUPs.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

The key to computer safety is caution. Only by paying close attention during the download and installation processes will you be able to protect your system from adware-type infections.

These processes should be performed with the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' settings, otherwise potentially unwanted programs will remain hidden and you will be unable to opt-out. Bundled software is mostly rogue and should never be installed.
