“Brought to you by Coupon Unity”, “Generated by Coupon Unity”, “Powered by Coupon Unity”, “Ads by Coupon Unity” – anything you may see on your PC screen which involves the words “Coupon Unity” is a sign of trouble. Advertised as the nth practical application on the Web that should enhance your online shopping experience, in reality, this thing is the nth troublesome adware-type parasite you should keep an eye out for when surfing the Web. Coupon Unity has been classified as a potentially unwanted program and it is, indeed, unwanted. Adware may not be the most harmful thing online but it is just malicious enough to destroy your entire Internet experience and get your computer infested with viruses as the same time. Come on, that scenario can’t possibly sound good to you. The sooner you manage to delete this pest of a program, the better for your privacy, safety and nerves. Why nerves, you may ask? Because since the very moment Coupon Unity gets installed, it floods your computer screen with such a rich bouquet of commercials that, if all of them weren’t dangerous, we’d actually be quite impressed. Get ready to be seeing pop-up ads, pop-under ads, banner ads, interstitial ads, video ads and many more types of ads on every single website you visit. That’s what adware does. It was developed to generate web traffic thus helping hackers gain profit so all the links currently on your PC screen are there because crooks want them to be there. The Coupon Unity ads are sponsored which means you certainly do not want to click any of them because it is not a risk worth taking. Due to the parasite’s manipulations your browsers will be injected with its sponsored commercials so you might easily install malware without even knowing it. As you can see, Coupon Unity could have catastrophic consequences if you’re unlucky enough to come across a particularly malicious advertisement. Apart from the ads, the virus also brings along a variety of unreliable software updates and more third-party web links which are all intrusive, stubborn and potentially very dangerous. Obviously, your overwhelmed browsers will experience some difficulties as well so they might start occasionally to crash or freeze. Or both. You may have some Internet connection issues and, to top it all, Coupon Unity also monitors your browsing-related activities so it poses a direct threat to your privacy. As you can imagine, keeping such a nasty infection on board simply cannot be beneficial for you. In order to learn how to uninstall Coupon Unity manually, please keep on reading.

How did I get infected with?

Cyber infections are incredibly sneaky and if you can’t recall the exact moment when Coupon Unity got downloaded, it’s because this parasite travels the Web in silence. The virus usually comes bundled with other programs so installing any kind of a freeware or shareware bundle requires your utmost attention. Remember, one moment of distraction online could easily lead to many long hours fighting a nasty parasite which took advantage of your negligence. To prevent such a troublesome scenario, always opt for the Custom or Advanced option in the Setup Wizard and make sure you check the programs you’re installing beforehand. Otherwise, you could accidentally download a whole bunch of “bonus” infections alongside the legitimate software you were originally going for and you should know that adware-type programs are the least dangerous parasites you could come across. Trojans, vicious ransomware infections and many other aggressive programs come bundled too. Also, avoid unverified websites and their unverified software, stay away from spam messages/email-attachments and never rush the installation process. Your safety depends on you; make sure you remember that and make sure you remember it well.

Why are these ads dangerous?

The never-ending pile of unreliable discounts, potentially corrupted coupons, fake program updates, malicious product offers, non-existent product deals, etc. is very irritating but it’s even more dangerous. As we mentioned, all pop-ups generated by the parasite are sponsored and bring revenue to crooks through the dubious pay-per-click mechanism and other highly questionable monetizing techniques. Even if you don’t end up installing more malware, you might fall victim to some tricky financial scam and lose money. Remember, the Coupon Unity commercials are unreliable. Thanks to the malicious browser extension that the virus installs to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, your browsers are now unreliable as well. This nasty add-on gets downloaded immediately after Coupon Unity lands on your device so there is no escaping its trickery. As we mentioned already, the parasite also steals personal data since the moment it gets installed so your private information will be sent into the greedy hands of hackers. Crooks usually sell the IP addresses, email addresses, usernames and passwords, browsing history and search queries collected to questionable third parties for marketing purposes. Nobody could surf the Web knowing that every single step they take online is being spied on and there is no doubt that this entire scheme could have terrible consequences for your privacy. To put an and to all troubles generated by Coupon Unity, please follow the detailed removal guide down below and uninstall the virus before it gets out of control.
