If you shop online frequently, Best Coupons Now Promos might catch your eye. This is a Google Chrome extension that is meant to offer you “relevant advertisements” when you browse the web. The add-on is meant to analyze your browsing activity to see what kinds of offers and promotions might be most suited to you, but if you think that that is done to your benefit, you might be wrong. The experts in our research team suggest that more personalized ads and offers are shown just so that the creator of the extension would have a better click-through rate. Most likely, the more ads you interact with, the more money the creator will earn for its advertising services. Of course, that does not automatically make the extension malicious, but there is a reason why we have classified it as a PUP, or potentially unwanted program. As you might know already, we recommend removing PUPs, and if you are looking for information on how to delete Best Coupons Now Promos, you are in the right place.
You might have downloaded Best Coupons Now Promos from chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/best-coupons-now-promos/eialjdelamohblmmaaanpcpmneccjfpf/. The Chrome web store is often used for the distribution of potentially unwanted programs, and it does not seem that the creator of the PUP has set up an official download website. We have bestcouponsnow.com, but it does not offer an installer. It is also possible that the potentially unwanted program is distributed using software bundles, which are usually controlled by third parties. They can bundle anything they want together, and while it is possible that Best Coupons Now Promos could be bundled with harmless apps, it is also possible that it could be bundled with malware. Even if you do not suspect malicious threats, we strongly encourage you to install a legitimate malware scanner – which can be free – and let it inspect your operating system. Obviously, if malware is found, you need to figure out how to delete it first. While we recommend deleting PUPs too, they are not as dangerous as some other threats that could be spread along with intrusive extensions.
We believe that Best Coupons Now Promos is an intrusive extension because that is what is revealed in the Privacy Policy, which can be found at bestcouponsnow.com/privacy-policy. According to the info that is available in this statement, the extension works with third-party advertisers, which means that it can only offer deals from specific parties. It is unlikely to offer the best deals overall. The Privacy Policy also informs that cookies and other data-tracking tools are employed to track your browsing activity so that more relevant offers could be selected. Unfortunately, we do not know what information exactly could be shared with third parties, and we do not know who these third parties are. Due to this, it is hard to say whether or not Best Coupons Now Promos can be trusted. Unfortunately, this PUP is not the only one of its kind. In fact, a PUP named “LiveStreamNewsToday Promos” works just the same, and it is even possible that both of these extensions were created by the same developer.
You should be able to remove Best Coupons Now Promos from your operating system yourself. If you have no idea how to erase unwanted extensions and delete unwanted cookies, follow the manual removal guide below. This is not the best option if other threats exist on your system, which you can figure out using a trusted malware scanner. So, what are you going to do? Even if you are able to delete Best Coupons Now Promos yourself, it is possible that your system and browsers are vulnerable because they do not have appropriate protection. If that is the case, you might decide to install anti-malware software anyway. And if you are not yet sure about what you want to do, quickly eliminate the PUP and other threats that might exist and then figure out a way to protect yourself.
