What is NextCoup?
NextCoup is a potentially unwanted application classified as adware. This program enters your computer together with a number of other freeware applications, and it is very likely that users do not even notice that they install NextCoup onto their computers. However, this program is very quick to rear its nasty head by displaying a variety of commercial advertisements on online shopping websites. You have to remove NextCoup if you want to get rid of these annoying ads. Not to mention that by deleting the program you would minimize the risk of getting exposed to potential computer security threats.

Where does NextCoup come from?
NextCoup has an official homepage at nexcoup.info, but, as expected, the direct download link is dead. It is a common practice among adware applications. Having an official homepage makes an impression that the application is reliable. It even says “NextCoup browser add-on gives its users the power to choose the best deal by gathering all online deals and coupons from internet shopping sites.” It does sound like a good opportunity to save your money, but unfortunately, it is nothing but a scam.
NextCoup is from the same family of adware applications as CoupExtension, DealEXpress, NetoCoupon and other similar add-ons. Just like its predecessors, it usually travels bundled with other programs within DomalQ installers. These installers are notorious for distributing fake Adobe or Java flash updates, or media player upgrades. If you encounter a pop-up that says it will install a new version of an important plug-in, stay away from it because it is very likely you are about to install NextCoup onto your PC.
What does NextCoup do?
Technically, there is nothing too shocking about NextCoup because it behaves just like any other adware application out there. It installs extensions to Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome web browsers. The extensions usually have randomized names, such as NExtCoupa, NextCOuiP, NaeXTCoup and so on.
With the extensions installed, NextCoup can collect information on your web browsing habits so that it could generate your online profile. This profile is necessary for an adware application if it wants to display custom advertisements. When the advertisements are tailored according to your web browsing habits, there is a bigger chance that you will click them.
However, you should refrain from clicking NextCoup ads since this application does not review the third-party content it embeds into the ads. There is no guarantee that this application would not get exploited by malevolent third parties for their evil purposes.
How to remove NextCoup?
It is necessary to uninstall NextCoup in order to protect your PC and your personal information from potential third-party exploitation. Open Control Panel and delete NextCoup right now. Then open your browser and remove the extension manually. Finally, run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner because you have to take care of all the other unwanted applications as well. You are bound to have more unwanted programs on your PC because (as it has been mentioned above) NextCoup comes bundled with freeware.
