What Are Majestic Coupons Ads?
Majestic Coupons Ads offer coupons, discounts, and promotions for items available on online shops. These ads will appear after the browser extension Majestic Coupons has been installed on your computer. It can work on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome. The program has supposedly been developed to help users save money. This can lure some users into using it. It is not recommended, however, that you have it on your computer. It has been classified as adware, and such programs have no place on your computer. Not only will it not help you, but it may also expose your system to virtual threats. Because of this, it is best to avoid having this application on your computer.
What Do Majestic Coupons Ads Do?
Majestic Coupons Ads will start appearing on your PC every time you try to surf the web. This will keep happening until while the program is installed. According to its Terms of Use, the program will show banner, pop-under, in-text, interstitial and video ads. It can also display sponsored links and search result pages when using Google or Bing. The program will also start collecting data on your browsing habits, which will allow it to present targeted advertisements. This will include search queries, browsing history, IP address, data stored on cookies, etc. The information can also be shared with third parties.
Where Did Majestic Coupons Ads Come from?
You are probably a bit bewildered about the presence of Majestic Coupons Ads on your computer. While the program has an official website, there is no installer there that can be downloaded. Programs such as this use other methods of distribution though. They depend on bundled downloads. In other words, they are attached to installers of free programs. These will be ones available on third-party websites. This way the adware can be installed without users noticing. You can do a few things in order to prevent programs from being installed through bundling:
Avoid third-party distributors such as cnet.com, download.com, etc.
Check all information presented to you in the install wizard.
Select Custom/Advanced installation. This way you will see whether there are any additional programs featured on the installer and you will have the chance to decline them.
What Is the Danger of Majestic Coupons Ads?
The problem with these ads is the same as with all other ads that are presented by adware – there is no way to be certain that they are genuine. Some may lead to websites that are managed by cyber criminals. This can have dire consequences for the security of your system and personal information. The websites may try to trick you into sharing your personal and financial details. They can also try to infect your system with malware. Then, they will be able to acquire all of the sensitive information themselves. Due to these risks, removal of Majestic Coupons Ads should be carried out without any hesitation.
