Nextcoup is an adware program that has only one goal: display ads on your browser. It gets installed on your PC secretively when you download certain free programs or fake software updates (Flash, Java, iTunes, etc.). It’s hard to get rid of Nextcoup since its authors designed it in such a way that it stays on its victims’ machines for as long as possible… all with the aim of earning as much money as possible.
In addition to displaying advertising on the websites you visit, Nextcoup slows down your browser and presents serious privacy issues since the authors of this adware might be able to gain access to everything you do online as long as Nextcoup is on your machine. That’s why it’s advisable to get rid of it as quickly as possible if you are having this issue.
