Where does CoupMeApp come from?
CoupMeApp is an identical clone of OMGApp, which we have written about recently. They both root from the Multiplug family of adware. These applications are built on the JustPlugIt cross-browser platform which provides base for hundreds of ad-supported programs such as EbookBrowse and DiscountExt. Maybe CoupMeApp itself does not sound a great threat to you to remove it right away, because you might think you can avoid clicking those potentially harmful ads. However, this adware may not be your only problem.
CoupMeApp has no official website, so you most probably could not have downloaded it directly. Thus, the most likely route to your system for this adware is via a third-party installer such as InstallRex, Amonetize or Vittalia. The clones of the Multiplug family usually travel in freeware bundles created by these notorious installers. Remember that it is enough to click on a corrupted download button or link on a file sharing website to face multiple computer security issues by downloading such a bundle. The included unwanted applications might be installed by default but you may have an opportunity during the installation process to say no to them, if you go for the Custom or Advanced options. Most users tend to skip this step and quickly click “Next” and wonder how these applications got there on their PC. If you are cautious enough, you may save yourself time you would have to spend on identifying and deleting such threats. The bad news is that CoupMeApp may come bundled with well-known infections such as EZDownloader, Websearch.goodforsearch.info, and mystartsearch.com. In order to save your system from further infections, you need to delete CoupMeApp and all related unreliable applications.
How does CoupMeApp act?
CoupMeApp is not different from any other unreliable adware. Its main function is to show you third-party commercials in the form of pop-ups, banners, and coupons when you visit your favorite online stores. The only issue with this is that the creators of this application cannot guarantee what might happen if you click on these ads. This means that if an unreliable third-party embeds a link to an infectious website into an ad, clicking on it may easily lead to the breach of your privacy, or you might be exposed to an online marketing scam. Therefore, our research team suggests that you remove CoupMeApp as soon as you can.
