  • COUPONUNITY is an irritating adware application
    that generates endless ads or coupons in a
    displayed box on the left of web browsers

    add-ons get installed on your browser, which is
    responsible for the pop-up ads. The ads may be
    sometimes displayed in the form of ads by
    COUPONUNITY, brought by COUPONUNITY, which are
    related to your recent search queries. Thats
    because COUPONUNITY is able to keep track of your
    browsing history and analyze your browsing
    interest, which is a very important data that
    COUPONUNITY uses to display ads.

  • Most adware programs including COUPONUNITY are
    always distributed via bundled programs. This
    unacceptable method is very popular among those
    adware creators. Therefore, if you dont want to
    let such malware enter your PC, you have to check
    carefully when you install any new programs onto
    your PC.

  • Lastly, COUPONUNITY adware may cause redirect
    problem. So, you may see that when you open a new
    tab or any target websites, there are some
    unknown websites show up on your browser
    randomly. COUPONUNITY should be responsible for
    this too. Now, since you have known that
    COUPONUNITY is not a safe program, you must
    uninstall it without hesitation.
