What is CoupApp?
CoupApp is an application that displays and offers commercial ads wherever you go. It has been created as a free browser add-on and is compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers. CoupApp is supposed to help you search the Web for “trusted coupons and discounts”. In other words, CoupApp should be a smart helper that allows you to purchase the goods you want at an optimal price. However, as an adware application CoupApp may also inadvertently expose you to corrupted content, so it is for the best to remove CoupApp from your PC as soon as possible.

Where does CoupApp come from?
There are many ways for CoupApp to enter your computer. Like most of the adware applications that masquerade as useful browser extensions, CoupApp also has a homepage at couponapp.info. The website provides you with the most basic info on the application; uninstall instructions, terms of use and privacy policy. There is also a download link, but it is highly unlikely that users download CoupApp directly from the official distributors.
In fact, more often than not users install adware apps onto their computer unaware that they come bundled with freeware. CoupApp may also be bundled with other applications. According to our security research, this app comes with InstallRex bundles from such third party file hosting web pages as sharesuper.info. The adware application can be bundled with other adware, EZDownloader and even amaizingsearches.info browser hijacker.
What does CoupApp do?
Even though users initiate the installation of this application, they probably do not even notice that they install some additional software onto their computers. However, once the application is up and running, you will notice immediately that something is wrong.
Technically, CoupApp should display commercial coupons and discount offers only when you access online shopping websites (like eBay, Amazon, BestBuy etc.). Nevertheless, this application floods you with random pop-ups on any website possible. Not only are these pop-ups annoying – they interfere with your browsing process, slow down your browser and they might even expose you to potentially malicious content.
Naturally malware infection is an extreme consequence of an adware installation, but you should not take your chances. The sooner you remove CoupApp from the PC the better.
