Ads by RightCoupon

What is RightCoupon?

The Right Coupon browser add-on was created by a company called RightCoupon Ltd. This plug-in claims to save time and money while shopping online by displaying deals, coupons, and discount offers. It is compatible with Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox.

While the functionality of Right Coupon may seem legitimate, be aware that this plug-in is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application. Commonly, Internet users install this browser extension inadvertently without their consent when downloading free software.

Developers of this add-on use a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling'. This marketing method is legal, however, many free software 'download clients' and 'installers' analyzed do not properly inform the user of additional applications listed for installation together with the free program chosen for download or installation.

Following successful installation, Right Coupon generates intrusive online banner, pop-up, and interstitial advertisements. Furthermore, this add-on tracks users' Internet browsing activity by recording browser names, IP addresses, computer usage history and preferences, operating systems, and other information that may be shared with third parties.

The presence of Right Coupon on your system may lead to malware infections (when clicking ads generated by this plug-in), and since it tracks users' Internet browsing activity, it could lead to privacy issues and identity theft.

A clear indication that your computer is infected with adware is "Ads by Right Coupon" visible when browsing the Internet. You are advised to eliminate this potentially unwanted application from your Internet browsers immediately.

Right Coupon is similar to other adware that infiltrates Internet browsers through free software downloads. Examples include SafeWeb, Shopping Helper Smartbar, and Shopathome toolbar. These browser extensions install on browsers when downloading or installing free software and claim to enhance the Internet browsing experience by adding various useful features.

In fact, they only generate intrusive coupon ads and diminish browser performance. The main purpose of these browser plug-ins is to generate revenue from intrusive online advertisements and browser tracking. To avoid installation of Right Coupon, be attentive when downloading and installing freeware.

When downloading free software, inspect each step and decline installation of any advertised browser extensions. When installing downloaded free programs, choose the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options - this will reveal any bundled adware and enable you to decline installation of any additional applications.
