Can’t Remove Coupon Navigator ads? This page includes detailed ads by Coupon Navigator Removal instructions!

Coupon Navigator is an adware program that generates coupons. And discounts. And deals. And viruses. And the sooner you get rid of it, the better. Behind the harmless facade of an online application that’s supposed to save you time and money, in reality, this is a nasty parasite. The only thing it’s capable of doing is spam you with its useless yet impressively annoying and potentially dangerous ads. Now, even though adware-type parasites rightfully aren’t considered among the most harmful infections out there, that still doesn’t mean they are even remotely close to being safe. The devious Coupon Navigator virus will quickly convince you that no threat is to be underestimated in the world of online infections. However, do you really need to tolerate this nuisance of a program and keep up with its shenanigans just to believe that it’s dangerous? It is. Your cyber security is definitely not something to be taken lightly so why risk both your safety and your privacy? Speaking of privacy, you might also be interested to learn that adware-type programs normally monitor the browsing activities on the infected machines. Which means hackers will have free access to your browsing history, emails and passwords and, knowing hackers, they will not hesitate to sell your private information to some questionable third parties. Their profit is all that matters so as you can see, your privacy is not a part of the picture. The Coupon Navigator parasite throws your way an immense pile of corrupted ads, corrupted program updates, corrupted web links and it goes without saying that nothing it displays is trustworthy. Just like all other adware-type programs out there, this virus was originality designed to generate web traffic, not to enhance your browsing experience. And just like all other adware-type programs out there, it has to go.

How did I get infected with?

Hackers are quite inventive when it comes to infiltration methods. That means they not only keep applying the oldest techniques possible but also keep coming up with new and fresh ways to harass you. Keep an eye out for any kinds of spam email-attachments, spam messages from unknown senders and third-party links you might stumble across while surfing the Web. In addition, having in mind that bundled freeware or shareware is probably the most popular tactic at the moment, there are a few things you should probably know about it. First of all, stay away from illegitimate websites and their illegitimate software. Secondly, never rush the installation process unless you’re willing to let some nasty bonus parasite slither itself onto the PC alongside the freeware you originally wanted. Also, it’s highly recommended that you select the Custom/Advanced option beforehand so you can remain in control of the programs trying to sneak in without your permission. It goes without saying that you don’t have to give green light to anything you don’t want installed. Remember, the key to your own safety is your own caution. Don’t gamble with your security and don’t take any unnecessary risks.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As we mentioned, adware-type parasites in general and this pest in particular were developed to generate web traffic. In order to do so, Coupon Navigator is willing to try every trick in the book to force you to click some questionable and potentially dangerous web link. Right after successful installation, the virus adds a malicious browser extension to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Does it bother to ask for any kind of permission first? No. You should already know that once your machine has been compromised, your preferences and your opinions become irrelevant and do you really want to lose control over your very own computer? This program is nothing but one huge annoyance so if given enough time on your PC system, it will certainly turn browsing the Web into quite a challenge. Apart from the never-ending pile of pop-ups, pop-unders, interstitials, banners, hyperlinks and video ads, the parasite also offers more malware disguised as program updates. Therefore, our advice is to ignore every single suggestion and advertisement generated on your PC screen and to proceed straight to deleting the parasite that caused the mess in the first place. Apart from the intrusive unreliable ads that Coupon Navigator brings upon you, the virus also manages to spy on your personal information in the meanwhile. As you can imagine, having your data (and possibly even some personally-identifiable information) being sent to hackers and then sold for monetizing purposes is not safe. If you’re particularly unlucky, you might fall victim to some nasty cyber scam or, the worst case scenario, identity theft. It’s quite obvious that this infection only provides issues so, to put it mildly, it’s an unpleasant thing to see on any computer screen. Especially yours. Due to the parasite’s harmful presence on your machine its overall speed will be slowed down considerably, so when you do manage to ignore the ads, using the device in general becomes quite difficult. Have you have it with this infection’s trickery? In order to put an end to its lies and deceits for good, please follow the detailed manual removal guide that you will find down below.
