After conducting an extensive analysis of this program, it has been determined that it is yet another adware application, that you should remove if you ever find it fully operating on your personal computer. During our investigation, we have noticed that vendors' of this ad-supported software employ manipulative and misleading advertising techniques to fool unsuspecting Internet users into downloading and installing their invasive software. Make sure to ignore various statements promising a significant enhancement in the online shopping experience; according to information provided within its official website this adware should present you with coupons, promotional codes, and great discount deals. If you happen to be a frequent online shopper all these features might seem excellent; unfortunately, this is not the case in reality. Instead of helping you spend less time and money online Coupon Ahoy will only cause major disruptions. Additionally, it could also expose your PC to suspicious web content which could lead to detrimental outcomes. Make sure not to waste any time and remove this ad-supported software from your PC in order to have a fully secure system and to be able to surf the web without constant interferences.

The first and foremost feature that you will experience right after Coupon Ahoy enters your computer will be a web browser filled with a large number of questionable third-party ads, pop-ups, and coupons. Even though some of this content could actually seem relevant, you must know that in reality it will turn out to be utterly useless as it will not provide any exceptional discount deal or promotional codes; thus, saving money or time by using this application is not possible. All the intrusive web content comes for various adware servers. This program connects to them by using a background system service that is started as its installation on your computer is finalized. It goes without saying that such functionality will make surfing the web a more challenging task than usual because you will be forced to fight your way through all the ads, pop-ups, and coupons on a daily basis. If you chose to kill the system service by using the Task Manager, you must know a few important facts regarding it. Firstly, its name is often random, meaning that its identification might require advanced computer skills. Secondly, you should be aware of the fact that it will restart itself with the next system startup, and so will the invasive operations. It is imperative to delete Coupon Ahoy as a whole since it is the only way to surf the web the way you are used to once again.

Unfortunately, such annoying and frustrating activities of Coupon Ahoy is not the worst thing about it. Upon further investigation, our malware experts have found out that some of the web content provided by this undesirable application could turn out to be potentially harmful. This is so because pop-ups and coupons might be embedded with redirect links. Coming across such a link might not happen often, but it is a possibility that could have tremendously detrimental outcomes on your entire operating system. By clicking on such a pop-up, you could be taken to dubious third-party sites and some of them could even turn out to be hosting malicious software or worse - have an arbitrary code execution exploit active on them. Just landing on a website that runs this exploit could be more than enough to get your operating system infected with some unknown malware. Such potential exposure of your operating system is the main reason our research team urges you to delete Coupon Ahoy as soon as possible.
