The CoupSeek program is deployed as a web app that can help you discover coupons and specials deals related to the pages you preview. That may sound exciting to online shoppers, but you may want to know that it tracks your browsing habits and displays many pop-ups, banners, and ad panels. Therefore, it is considered as adware by security researchers. You should note that it serves as an advertising platform and clicks on ads by CoupSeek are at your risk. The developers of CoupSeek disperse their product in freeware bundles to earn pay-per-click revenue. Needless to say, the services of the CoupSeek adware come with no warranty, and you may be directed to visit unsafe web locations and download Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs).

The CoupSeek adware can execute its operation in your web browser by using a Browser Helper Object, an add-on, a plugin, a toolbar and a browser extension. Users may notice the CoupSeek adware listed as a stand-alone program on the 'Programs and Features' list in 'Control panel' but its removal may be obstructed by a dysfunctional uninstaller.
