PCoupoon is another browser extension that is supposed to help PC users save money by providing them with the latest updates regarding the best deals and promotions on the web. This virtual shop assistant may seem like a useful tool, but there are many things that PCoupoon's after may not want you to know. First of all, we'd like to start by saying that although PCoupoon is free, it is an ad-supported application. As such, it may display advertisements while it is running, and as well know, advertisements may be one of the most annoying things we encounter on the web. The big problem is that the PCoupoon ads come from 3rd-party publishers, so there is no way to know whether their content is safe or not. If you see PCoupoon ads in your browser, you should not click on them! They might lead you to potentially harmful websites.

The PCoupoon adware may be downloaded from the publisher's website, but most of the installations of this adware occur thanks to software bundling. Software bundles are one of the most popular ways to distribute adware, potentially unwanted programs, and browser hijackers in recent years, so users should be aware of the possibility that a cost-free app they install might try to install PCoupoon as well. If you see PCoupoon ads in your browser, you should run a full system scan using a reputable anti-malware solution.
