Today’s article is focused on a malicious browser extension named Term Coach. Now, this program may seem legitimate and it may seem harmless but if it were any of that, we wouldn’t be writing this article and you wouldn’t be sitting here reading it. The Term Coach virus is a classic member of the nasty adware family and it’s also classified as a PUP (potentially unwanted program). Adware parasites, rather rightfully, aren’t considered the most dangerous cyber threat out there. However, they are just dangerous enough to corrupt your computer and jeopardize your security.

Need more reasons to delete it? As you probably already know, it’s very important to deal with Term Coach before it gets out of control.

How did I get infected with?

You might have asked this question multiple times. Well, let us answer it for you. Being a typical adware program, Term Coach applies mainly underhanded techniques to infiltrate computers. That means the virus not only finds its way directly to your device but it also does that in complete silence leaving you baffled later on. The most popular distribution method is called bundled freeware. You have to be extremely cautious when it comes to installing such program packages because they might include a virulent parasite as a bonus. If you notice the malicious presence of Term Coach on your machine, it’s highly possible that it isn’t the only unwanted program there. It might turn out that Term Coach is not even your biggest problem. Always opt for the advanced or custom option in the Setup Wizard and do not miss installation steps. Those extra five minutes you need to go through the Terms and Conditions are also something that can prevent cyber damage. Remember that being cautious pays off. Another thing you should do to make sure your PC is virus-free is stay away from third-party commercials and all kinds of spam email-attachments or messages from unknown senders.

Why are these ads dangerous?

As previously mentioned, the Term Coach virus gets installed without your permission and starts wreaking havoc on the spot. This parasite adds an extension to all your browsers because it’s perfectly compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. From now on the mess is complete as it doesn’t matter which browser you use or which website you’re on, the endless parade of  Term Coach ads will be there. The parasite injects your browsers with an enormous amount of pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, video ads, interstitials, etc. and as you’re soon to be convinced, these commercials are incredibly intrusive and very difficult to handle. The only way to remove them is to remove the virus that brought them to you in the first place so you should hesitate no more and uninstall Term Coach as soon as possible. Apart from wasting your time forcing you to avoid commercials, the infection also puts your safety in jeopardy. The websites these ads lead to are sponsored and some of them are definitely corrupted. There’s no telling which ad is real and which one is fake until you click, but is that really a risk worth taking? Instead of purchasing a beneficial product at an attractive price, you might end up purchasing a virulent infection thus making your Internet experience even worse. Some commercials might appear legitimate when in actuality all they do is involve you in a cyber scam and steal your money. Same goes for the various program updates Term Coach may suggest you so the most reasonable thing to do is avoid everything that the virus wants you to install. All links, ads, offers and texts on your PC screen are there for a reason and cannot be trusted.
