TermCoach is nothing but an advertising software, no matter what they pretend to be on their website. Actually is a new version of another adware called PhraseProfessor which incidentally we mentioned not long ago in our pages.
It is clear then, that this program has but two main goals. First of all, to show as many ads as possible when you’re browsing the internet. At the slightest click from your mouse you’ll be seeing pop-ups or new windows opening up without having any way to stop them.
TermCoach‘s second goal is to register everything you do online: the websites you visit, searches you do, whatever you type, all of it is recorded into databases that will be sold afterwards.
TermCoach‘s so called main function (as seen on their website) is nothing but a pretext…
This kind of parasite software is installed thanks to lack of attention from users when executing modified install programs coming from certain download platforms like download.com or softonic.com. That’s why is imperative to remember at all times to avoid using the “recommended” or “by default” options and always go for the customized versions, so you can stop adware like this from being installed.
You should know that TermCoach is considered as suspicious only by AhnLab-V3.
