Internet Cupom

The suspicious Internet Cupom is a browser extension that we identify as a PUP, which stands for “potentially unwanted program.” This browser extension is compatible only with Google Chrome, and it is mainly targeted at computer users who speak Portuguese. According to our research, 95% of all Internet Cupom users live in Brazil. The remaining 5% are divided between users in Portugal and Angola. Surprisingly, the official website associated with this extension, internetcupom.com, is hosted on 142.4.215.121 IP that is located in Beauharnois, Canada. The same server also hosts netcupom.com, a site that appears to offer similar services. Both of these sites supposedly promote reliable shopping coupons that users can access by installing browser extensions. We do not recommend installing either of these programs because they deserve removal. If you keep reading, you will learn how to delete Internet Cupom and why you should consider the removal of this program.

Internet Cupom is officially represented at internetcupom.com, but it is possible that this program will be offered by unpredictable third-party installers as well.

If malicious programs were downloaded along with Internet Cupom, a scanner will let you know if they require removal, which will help you plan your course of action. Although ignoring malware can be more comfortable at this moment, your virtual security might fall at risk if you remain oblivious about the malware active on your PC.

Before we start discussing the removal of this suspicious program, we want to introduce you to it so that you would understand the reasons we have for recommending its removal.

Once installed, Internet Cupom adds a button to your Chrome browser, and this button provides easy access to internetcupom.com. This website shows Novos Cupons (New Coupons) and Top Cupons (Top Coupons) that are associated with products sold at walmart.com.br, extra.com.br, casasbahia.com.br, selecoes.com.br, and other online shopping sites. Users are provided with the option to receive the best coupons directly to their inbox, but you need to think twice before handing any information. The cookies installed by Internet Cupom already can track your location and record information about your activity, and by signing up with your email, you will be giving it up as well. Keep in mind that if your email address fell into the wrong hands, your inbox could be flooded with spam emails containing malware installers and malicious links, or representing scams. Because the Privacy Policy of Internet Cupom is very vague, we are not sure if your email address, or other data collected, is safe.
