You'll have noticed these adverts – these days so many websites are littered with them. From side bars in our email inboxes to banner ads on shopping or travel agency sites to horrible pop up adverts that infiltrate your screen, there's no getting away from the fact that adware is here to stay.
What do TremendousCoupon adverts show?
This is precisely the reason why so many people label TremendousCoupon as a type of malware. It can be detected as a PUP as well, for example PUP.Optional.ShoppingGate.A. Have you noticed that so many of the adverts you are on your screen are very similar to products or services that you've been browsing for online in the last few days? That's because adware installs a component on your computer that monitors which websites you are looking at. The information is sent back to the programmer so that they can ensure that they show you adverts that have a higher chance of you clicking on them. This is a win win for programmers and websites who pay for advertising as not only are they increasing the possibility of you buying something but they're also driving traffic to their site, helping to increase its popularity in the search engine rankings.
How does adware install this component?
TremendousCoupon is packaged or bundled with another program in the majority of cases - often one that the programmer has also developed, but not always. On the plus side, that means that adware is giving us access to free files or programs, however when you weigh that up against the unpleasant fact that you are being spied upon every time you are online it doesn't look quite so appealing.
Add to this fact that adware destabilizes other programs you have installed and you will also find that your PC's security is put at greater risk of a breach – meaning that the likelihood of you downloading something even more malicious is now greater.
TremendousCoupon: annoying or malware – or both?
I'm going to go with the 'both' factor here. This adware IS indeed an irritant – especially the pop up advert by TremendousCoupon variety but the fact that is sneaks its way on to your PC without making it clear definitely doesn't work in its favor. And as for causing your device to operate with an increased possibility of you being infected and we think that this is definitely one type of marketing you want to try and avoid.
Adware: is it just a nuisance or something that could genuinely put you at risk? We'll let you decide.
