Where does NetoCoupon come from?

This application has an official homepage, and you can access it at netcoupon.com. However, just one look at the website is enough to realize that you cannot download NetoCoupon there. There is no direct download link available. The only information that you see on the website is the claim that NetoCoupon can help you save money when you shop online by providing you with relevant shopping options.

Since the official website does not distribute this application, we can make an assumption that the main distribution method for NetoCoupon is bundled downloads. It means that this program usually arrives with a third-party installer or downloader. Adware apps from this group are usually bundled with DomalQ installers that are known to promote fake Adobe and Flash updates. Such adware apps as DownSave, AllCheapPrice, Real Deal and others also spread around using the same method; thus, we can see that NetoCoupon belong to the same family of annoying applications.

What does NetoCoupon do?

Despite the fact that NetoCoupon is said to help you purchase goods at an optimal price that is rather far from the truth. When this program enters your computer, it affects Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer web browsers by adding an extension. This extension usually randomizes its name upon the installation, so the NetoCoupon on your computer might be titled NetOCOUpoon, NetoCouupion or any other random sequence. However, it does not change the fact that it is still the same adware application.

With the extension on your browser, NetoCoupon will be able to collect data on your web browsing habits. When it has enough information, this program will spam you with various ads and pop-ups on commercial websites. Keep in mind that the information on NetoCoupon ads cannot be trusted blindly as it might be embedded there by cybercriminals.

You should also scan the PC with SpyHunter free scanner because you will have other unwanted applications on your system that have arrived together with NetoCoupon.
