It was discovered that RoyalCoupon is mostly distributed via bundled installers. Mostly, it is the IntallRex installer that is carrying the infection (although Amonetize and Vittalia installers are also sometimes responsible for the installation of RoyalCoupon). It is widely known that these installers are mostly distributed in fake or malicious download websites. Quite a few torrent websites host these setup files as well. Avoiding dubious websites for software downloads is crucial. Moreover, you are recommended to install a trustworthy antimalware tool in order to secure your system to the fullest.
RoyalCoupon adware is based on JustPlugIt engine. Many other adware applications are based on it as well; the list would include: DealEXpress, DiscouNNtExtensi, CoupExtension, Shopcompare ads, etc. RoyalCoupon is very similar to the applications mentioned and works in basically the same manner. It will install extensions to browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome) without your knowledge. These extensions will be used in order to display you with various third-party adverts and pop-ups.
In the privacy policy section of their website, the publishers of RoyalCoupon state that certain information about you will be tracked and shared with various third parties. What is quite suspicious about it is that the publishers do not specify what that certain information is. Furthermore, it is unclear who these so-called third-party associates are, which will be receiving the information. Since the publishers of RoyalCoupon do not bother to review the legitimacy of their associates; thus, it is plausible that the information gathered could end up in the hands of cybercriminals. The consequences of that could be quite detrimental. Avoid getting your sensitive data exposed by conducting an extensivet RoyalCoupon removal.
We recommend that you follow the removal instructions provided below to get rid of RoyalCoupon. It is important to recheck your system for any potential leftovers of the infection afterwards. In some cases, it was noticed that RoyalCoupon is able to connect to the Internet without your permission. It might signify that, if only a few files or a certain registry value is still present on your PC, the adware application could be able to re-download itself automatically.
