Coupon Crusher is a typical adware extension that may ruin your surfing sessions. Coupon Crusher is promoted as a reliable shopping assistant, which is supposed to save money on your purchases. The developers of Coupon Crusher assure that their vouchers and promo codes will help you find good deals. In reality, this questionable application tries to redirect PC users towards its partners. The process brings them referral commissions. Coupon Crusher is not among those programs that the users search for and download intentionally. It may be a real challenge just to find the official site of Coupon Crusher. The questionable extension may be suggested to you by some third-party freeware. This approach is referred to as 'bundling.' It may be successful if you don't pay the necessary attention to details such as the 'License Agreement' and the 'Terms and Conditions.' If you invest some time to read the text and perform the setup operation via the 'Advanced' guide, you may uncheck the suggested additions besides the main software manually. If it is not possible, you can always cancel the process. Once this shopping assistant enters, Coupon Crusher may cause many unrequested modifications to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You may notice a different homepage the next time you go online. Moreover, Coupon Crusher may replace your default search engine silently with an untrustworthy alternative. As you go to your favorite sites, you may notice abnormally high quantities of pop-ups, banners, in-text ads, sponsored videos, embedded multimedia materials, etc. Coupon Crusher may have mechanisms to adjust the displayed content to your taste. Coupon Crusher may record non-personally identifiable information like the surfing and searching histories. This may explain why some of the ads correspond to your interests. However, you should be vigilant if you decide to explore them because some of the links may open corrupted pages associated with harmful activities. The most efficient way to clean your browsers from unrequested commercial materials is to delete Coupon Crusher with a leading security program.
