There have been many complaints involving KeyCoupons, a low quality Web browser add-on. KeyCoupons is part of 215 Apps, a known group of adware and Potentially Unwanted Programs. These PUPS may be used to benefit its creators at the expense of computer users. PUPs like KeyCoupons may place your computer at risk because they may interfere with your Web browser, attempt to convince you to download and install potentially harmful content and profit at your expense. KeyCoupons and similar PUPs are characterized by the same types of symptoms. These symptoms may be:

  • KeyCoupons may change random text on Web pages into links. These links may cause pop-up advertisements and open new tabs on the affected Web browser when clicked on. One particularly irritating aspect of KeyCoupons advertisements is that they may appear when the mouse cursor passes over the linked text.
  • KeyCoupons may be associated with fake error messages and dialogs that will try to convince you to download and install fake updates for your Web browser or other software. These supposed updates may be other PUPs or even threatening content such as BitCoin mining software.
  • KeyCoupons may affect your Web browser's capacity and Internet access and may cause Web pages loading very slowly or not loading at all. This is in part because KeyCoupons may insert numerous advertisements into all Web pages, causing them to load much slower than normal.

Although not Threatening KeyCoupons may Lead to Threats

KeyCoupons may be detected as a threat, although PUPs may not be considered threatening but, rather, potentially harmful. However, despite not being a threat, KeyCoupons causes troubles that may be just as exasperating or hard to deal with as some threat infections. More importantly, PUPs like KeyCoupons may serve as gateways towards more threatening threat infections, often exposing computer users to other PUPs and unwanted content through their irritating advertisements, pop-up messages and affiliated websites and online content. Because of this, you should remove all content linked to KeyCoupons with the help of a reliable, fully updated security application.
