Coupon Companion is an application that many PC security researchers have classified as Adware. These kinds of infections are often less severe than other kinds of malware. However, they can be quite irritating and make it difficult to use an infected computer. More importantly, they can compromise your security, granting a third party to obtain access to your browser habits and other information. The reason why Coupon Companion is classified as an unwanted program is because numerous computer users have reported that Coupon Companion is associated with unwanted behaviors on their computers. Basically, Coupon Companion may cause the appearance of unwanted advertisements, monitor certain aspects of your online activities and interrupt your browsing by displaying advertisements that can be obtrusive and annoying.
Coupon Companion is marketed as a way for computer users to gain access to significant savings on different products that they may be interested in. However, the way Coupon Companion does this will often not sit well with many computer users. Basically, Coupon Companion will cause a pop-up window or advertisement to appear whenever Coupon Companion detects that you are shopping online or visiting a particular website associated with online commerce. The Coupon Companion window will fill up the upper right corner of your web browser's main window and will contain several special offers related to the contents of your current window. Clicking on any of the links contained in the Coupon Companion window will lead you to websites that pay the author of Coupon Companion for directing you to their pages. The main problem with Coupon Companion and similar adware programs is that many scammers can take advantage of sponsored links and search results associated with these kinds of marketing tools in order to distribute malware, direct computer users to websites containing malicious content or to carry out any number of known online scams.
