High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.

If you notice unwanted advertisements in your web browser, and they are labeled "Ads by Oh My Coupons" or "Oh My Coupons Ads", then you may have accidentally accepted to install the Oh My Coupons browser extension. This small utility is advertised as a useful tool that can help you save money while shopping online by providing you with coupon codes and information about current promotions. This may seem like a very attractive tool to have installed on your computer but, unfortunately, Oh My Coupons isn't by far as good as it claims to be. Most of its offers may be associated with shady or offline websites, so it is safe to say that the information it provides is mostly unreliable.
Furthermore, the Oh My Coupons extension is classified as adware. As soon as it is installed, it may start injecting advertisements in your web browser. The Oh My Coupons ads should not contain harmful content, but this doesn't mean that the web destinations they promote should be visited. The adware relies on paid-per-click advertisements to generate revenue for its authors, so every clicked ad may bring money to the authors of the adware. Removing the Oh My Coupons extension is mandatory if you want to get rid of the ads it displays. This is best performed with the assistance of a well-updated and potent anti-malware solution.
