How did I get infected with?

Genius Coupon is a full-on master of deceit. The tool uses trickery and slyness to invade your system. And, not only does it succeed in gaining access, but also does so covertly. Confused? Let’s elaborate. It’s rather straightforward. Applications, like this one, are required to ask for your permission before they install themselves on your computer. If they don’t get in, they cannot enter. However, there is a loophole all cyber infections use. Yes, they are bound to ask for your approval, but they don’t have to do it openly. This is where their deception kicks in. They dupe you using every known trick in the book and sneak in undetected. You only become aware of their existence, after they choose to clue you in, not a moment before. More often than not, adware such as Genius Coupon dupes you with the help of the old but gold means of infiltration. That include hiding behind spam email attachments, corrupted sites or links, or freeware. Also, the application can mask itself as a bogus update. Each method cannot succeed without you, or rather your carelessness. It’s a key ingredient without which the plan of invasion falls through. So, think hard whether it’s worth saving a few minutes of your time by rushing. Because, realistically, you’ll spend a lot more time dealing with the abundance of problems, Genius Coupon will inevitably force upon you after your distraction opens the door for it. Don’t give into naivety and haste, and don’t throw caution to the wind. Even a little extra attention goes a long way.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As you might have guessed already, Genius Coupon’s selling point is that it assists you in increasing your savings by providing you with coupons. And, not just that. The application also displays all the best deals and bargains found online and gives you a chance to can take advantage of them, of course. All the amazing-looking offers the program shows you almost seem too good to be true. Unfortunately, that’s true. They only sound fantastic, because that’s their objective. They’re designed to reel you in, to get your attention, and spark your interest enough for you to click the pop-up advertisements that display them. Oh, yes. The PUP shows you all of these enticing offers through its ads. And, if they captivate you enough, you press the pop-ups that portray them. Know that to do that would be a terrible mistake. Not to sound overdramatic, but it’s the truth. If you click on even a single ad you see, be it by choice or accident, all you’ll succeed in doing is to get stuck with more unwanted malicious tools, not save money. Yes, by pressing a pop-up, you unknowingly agree to install the malware it’s hiding. And, you can be sure that it is indeed hiding such hazardous applications, because the ads you’ll be bombarded with, are immensely unreliable. There is no doubt that they’re bundled with malware. So, do yourself a favor, and don’t press a single pop-up ad. It’s for the best. However, what’s even better than ignoring the ads, is deleting the Genius Coupon program altogether. By getting rid of it the very first chance you get, you’ll save yourself a ton of troubles. For example, you won’t have to bear the never-ending flood of pop-up advertisements that will come your way every time you try to browse the web. Or, put up with the issues these ever-present ads will lead to, like the slower PC performance and the frequent system crashes. And, the worst ‘perk’ of having adware that you’ll manage to avoid – the security risk it will undoubtedly place upon you. From the moment you get stuck with Genius Coupon, your personal and financial information are at grave risk. Why? Well, because the program spies on you in an attempt to steal your private details, and send them to the third parties that published it. Once they have it, they have free rein with it. Think about it. Is that a risk you’re prepared to take? Here’s a hint: don’t! Spare yourself all of these issues, and delete the application as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
