CouponFactor Removal Instruction – Completely Uninstalled!

What Is CouponFactor?


CouponFactor is a browser add-on that keeps displaying various advertisements while you are browsing websites. Usually it gets into your computer via being bundled with free applications or clicking pop-up ads. It is an advertising program which claims to be a useful tool to provide coupons and great deals for saving your money while you are shopping online. However, it is not as helpful as it advertised. 



Once it makes its installation into your computer, it is able to attack all your browsers like Internet Explore, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox and add its extension in your web browsers. Thus it is easier and more convenient for this program to track your online activities and record your browsing history. Then your privacy will be put at high risk. Furthermore, this adware will generate and display thousands of ads to bother you according to your online searches. Meanwhile, most of the ads are in the form of small pop-up screens, and contain some malware and infections such as spyware, ransomware, Trojan and worms. If you click on those ads, you will activate and download more infections to your computer so that your computer will be in a worse condition. Besides, its running extension will slow your computer operating speed by taking up the system resources. Gradually, your computer will take a long time to turn on or shut down and even get the blue or black screen of death frequently.
In a word, this CouponFactor is a pesky adware that will cause many troubles to your computer and invade your privacy. So you’d better uninstall CouponFactor adware as soon as it is found.
