The name of the RockCoupon may inspire confidence in many online shoppers but should not be trusted because it is adware. The RockCoupon adware may slow down your browser and display many pop-up windows at once when you visit online stores like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. Also, the RockCoupon adware is reported to show a rather large banner entitled 'Similar Products' in the bottom right corner of the browser that contains sponsored content. The RockCoupon adware may advertise riskware like Infonaut and LiveiStream on pop-unders and merchandise from untrusted online shops. The RockCoupon adware may show discounts, coupons, and special deals to attract your attention, but you should not click on those promotions as they may be corrupted. Your browser could be instructed to do a drive-by download of a harmful program. The RockCoupon adware may affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Mozilla Firefox through the implementation of an excitable DLL module and avoid appearing on your extension manager. Security researchers note that the RockCoupon adware works like ClicknMark and Verticity and might place its files in the hidden AppData folder to hinder manual removal. Additionally, the RockCoupon adware may edit your Windows Registry settings to launch as a background process when you log-on. You should take into consideration that the RockCoupon adware connects to the Internet over insecure channels and may expose you to cyber threats designed to intercept your web traffic. Also, RockCoupon will read and send information like your browsing history, bookmarks and recent search operation on Google to advertisers to load custom-made ads. Therefore, you might want to use a trustworthy anti-spyware application to clean your system from the RockCoupon adware.
