In fact, free programs or certain updates (the majority of the time completely fake) are often coupled with adwares that install automatically if you do not customize the installation programs. By not indicating that you do not want to install them, you accept by default the general conditions and use of adware, thus granting permission to install, as well as monitoring what you do online and offering you ads. Legally, it’s difficult to challenge anything programs like Couponarific do, and adwares can go unnoticed by antiviruses for some time. This has a tendency to change even if the traditional antiviruses always look worse in their reports compared to other programs like Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
