Getdeal coupon

If you are looking for a browser extension that would improve your overall online shopping experience, Getdeal coupon is not your best choice. Naturally, this application is not a malicious infection, but it still falls into the potentially unwanted program category due to the fact that it may come bundled with freeware and it could expose you to potentially malicious third party content. Therefore, computer security experts strongly recommend removing Getdeal coupon from your computer as soon as possible. While you are at it, make sure that you remove all the other potentially unwanted applications as well.

The reason why Getdeal coupon may seem like an extremely useful application is that its homepage at getdeal.com/coupon-scout looks extremely sophisticated. As you can see the same program is also known as Coupon Scout, so if you encounter a browser application under the latter name, do take note that it is the same program as Getdeal coupon.

Information provided at the official website claims that Getdeal coupon is compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer web browsers. It also promises that with the extension installed you will never miss a great deal, and that there is no need to worry about the legitimacy of Getdeal coupon – the application is free and safe.

However, apart from the official website, Getdeal coupon might also come bundled with such adware applications as LyricsFriend, Ad.Yieldmanager and Adware.Jollywallet. It implies that the application can also be related to a number of security issues related to these programs. For example, Ad.Yieldmanager is considered a tracking cookie that collects information on your web browsing habits and then leaks to third parties that might use it for marketing purposes.

However, the most disturbing fact about Getdeal coupon is that the application might be exploited by malevolent parties for malware distribution. Keep in mind that the coupon deals and discount ads displayed by this application are not generated by it. Getdeal coupon taps into a third party advertising network to collect its coupon deals, and it means that the application does not review the content of the ads it displays.

Consequently, if a malicious party embeds a corrupted link into any of the coupons and you click it, everything might end up in a serious malware infection. Therefore, it is for the best to remove Getdeal coupon and all the other related applications from your computer as soon as possible. If you are not sure which programs must be removed from the PC, run a full system scan with SpyHunter free scanner. Also, after manual removal you should consider investing in a licensed antimalware application that would help you protect your PC from potential future threats.
