ActiveCoupon

This software is an adware program that functions as a browser extension developed by JustPlug.It and distributed through the WebPick (InstalleRex) download and install manager. It is commonly packaged with various adware offer bundles and operates as a cross-browser extension, incorporating several components such as a Windows service, auto-starting component, and browser toolbar/plugin. The primary purpose of this software is to inject advertisements into the user's browsing experience in the form of banner ads, hyper-text links, and pop-ups. Furthermore, the program may also manipulate existing advertising on websites and insert affiliate codes in links to offer coupons. Upon installation, the software typically creates a folder with a randomized name in either Program Files or ProgramData, and each file included within also carries a uniquely generated name. Users may encounter deceptive malvertising ads promoting purported 'required' updates for common programs, as well as unwanted pop-up advertisements. The software can also install bundled adware utilities and additional browser extensions if downloaded. Additionally, its components can alter the default security levels of the user's web browser. By describing the software in this manner, we can provide users with the necessary information to make informed decisions about their software installations and online browsing activities.
