Where does SuperCouponPro Toolbar come from?

SuperCouponPro Toolbar was created by a company called Mindspark Interactive Network Inc. If you are facing a potentially unwanted program, not for the first time you may have already heard this name since the developer is known for creating such type of software. Thus, we cannot consider it as a reputable publisher. Same as other similar toolbars the tool can be downloaded from its homepage (supercouponpro.com/index.jhtml). Clearly, without knowing the site’s exact address or at least the program’s title it would be difficult to find it, so to make it more popular the application might be advertised through pop-up ads, file-sharing web pages, etc. It could even be distributed with bundled installers, so users who do not review terms on the installation wizard could install it accidentally. To avoid such situations in the future, you should pay more attention to the installation process and perhaps even use legitimate antimalware software.

How does SuperCouponPro Toolbar work?

After the potentially unwanted program’s installation, the affected browser should have an additional search bar that is quite useless if you are using Mozilla Firefox as the browser already has a second search bar. Next to it, there should be various icons, for example, Latest Deals, Find Coupons, Layaway, Free Stuff, etc. If you click these icons, you may see a list of third-party web pages offering various coupons, offers, freebies, and so on. These suggestions could look quite tempting, but you should know that SuperCouponPro Toolbar’s do not guarantee their reliability. It means there is a chance some of the third-party web pages could violate your privacy, try to scam you, or cause you trouble in other ways.

What’s more, after the installation SuperCouponPro Toolbar should replace your homepage and new tab page with search.myway.com. The search application comes from the same creators, so it cannot be trusted either. As our researchers report, the search tool may use a modified Google search engine. Therefore, the results it shows could be injected with advertisements belonging to the third party as well. Sadly, just like the links we mentioned above, the ads in search.myway.com results might encourage you to visit possibly harmful websites, for example, users could unknowingly enter sites that distribute viruses, Trojans, or other malware.
