Coupseek

Coupseek is one of hundreds of advertising-supported programs that might reach your computer to serve ads to your web browser. We suggest that you remove this application as soon as you notice it sending coupons, rebates, discounts, and other commercial information to your browser window. As the official site coupseek.com states, this app aims to “pop the best deal of the day for you”; there is also a possibility to subscribe to this service to receive coupons on specific deals in specific categories via email. However, we do not recommend taking advantage of the services Coupseek promises, because it might easily spam you with commercial content, leaving you no other choice but to remove the app.

The same site also informs us that the application will “very quietly work at the background” – and we would like to draw your attention to the word “quietly” here. This delicate phrasing is another way of saying that this application autostarts with Windows and is always active in the background whatever you do on your computer. What is especially alarming, and why you should remove Coupseek, is that the said official site does not provide any information about surveillance of your online activities, which is usually what adware programs like Coupseek engage in in order to provide users with the promised “best” content. The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are both detailed under the common title, and all the links this site gives to the Privacy Policy redirect to the site which contains no such information. You should never trust an application which does not explicitly explains its behavior on target systems, so, since Coupseek clearly fails to do this, you should remove this application as soon as possible before it leaks personally identifiable information to malicious parties.

You will not be able to download Coupseek from the official site, because the link there is inactive. It is very typical of adware applications to have sites set up to promote them as legitimate programs when, in fact, they rely exclusively on distribution via software bundles. Coupseek is known to be found spreading with bad installers, which install other unwanted or dangerous software. So, if you do not want to end up in a situation in which you need to remove not only Coupseek but additional infections as well, avoid downloading software from unreliable third-party sites.

If Coupseek is already on your system, do not hesitate to delete it at once, because it is too much of a suspicious program which has a potential to offer you unreliable content. Keeping this adware app might result in malware infection or a data leak, so there is no need to take such a risk for an adware app. You can terminate this application from Control Panel, following the step-by-step instructions we have attached to this article. However, we would like to point out that automatic antimalware software is unrivaled when it comes to cases in which you need to remove malicious applications like Coupseek.
