NetoCoupon is a potentially unwanted application classified as adware. It means that when this program enters your system, it displays a lot of annoying advertisements in order to push you into accessing potentially corrupted websites. Although NetoCoupon is not a direct computer security threat, you should not keep this application on your system. The sooner you remove NetoCoupon, the better because this program might be used by malevolent third parties to make easy money. You also have to keep in mind that such programs seldom travel alone, so you most probably have more than just one adware application on your PC. Read more »

ClickForSale is a browser extension which may exist on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers without your knowledge. As malware researchers have found out, the program’s creators can install it without your permission, and in most cases this can be done with the help of software bundling. For example, the installer of the unreliable ad-supported program could be attached to more alluring and desirable programs. Anti-Spyware-101.com researchers have found out that DomaIQ installers can be used for the distribution of the plugin as well. These installers are unreliable and usually promote fictitious installers of Java and Flash software, or random media players. If adware was installed onto the PC with the help of this installer, you not only need to remove ClickForSale, as getting the related software deleted is just as important. Luckily, you are in the right place if you are curious about the removal of this software. Read more »
