Remove Right Coupon pop up ads (Uninstall Guide)

Right Coupon is a potentially unwanted program that may display pop up ads on your computer and redirect you to dubious websites saying that you've won something. It's detected as adware and PUP by multiple anti-virus engines. Pop up ads by Right Coupon are labeled as "Hot Deals!" or "Hottest Deals!". Users are usually annoyed by the constant pop up ads, so it's not surprising at all that they want to uninstall the program that is generating them as soon as possible. And here comes the tricky part because it won't be necessarily listed on your computer. It has been found to be bundled with 3rd party software. In other words, it may be a part of another program you recently installed. Regardless of the fact that it may potentially be wanted, the fact is that it probably isn't and most of potentially unwanted programs are not much use either. That aside, no matter how much we think we know about protecting ourselves from online fraud and data theft, the fact is that even if PUPs or adware are on the less aggressive end of the scale to, say Trojan Horses, none of us can really be certain what the publishers of any dubious program intend it to do. And just by the very nature of the way PUPs install themselves on your machine (i.e. without your knowledge) means there's a very good chance that the Right Coupon isn't quite as benign as a simple free toolbar or a web browser extension. To remove this PUP/adware from your computer, please follow the steps in the removal guide below.

I hear this all the time, I do not know how, but it has somehow been installed on my computer. If you're like me you'll remember when you knew nothing about technology and the people you asked for help with IT issues would tell you that in order to download a piece of software, or indeed any file or program, was to click install and then continue to hit the 'OK' or 'Next' button until your installation was complete. Yes, those were the good old days of not bothering to read the boring End User License Agreements (EULAs) and skipping your way merrily though a download as quickly as possible. I'm sorry to say that whether that was your own 'technique' of dealing with downloads or someone taught you, it was wrong! The people who create malware, Potentially Unwanted Programs and viruses noticed. And they're take advantage of our carelessness.

And that's perhaps why you're reading this post – because you've found yourself with Right Coupon installed on your computer. Well, I'm here with you – I think End User License Agreements are deadly boring too. But so then is dealing with unwanted browser redirects and dodgy pop-up adverts.

I really meant it when I said knowledge is power in the title. The more you know about your EULA, the more you know about what exactly you're installing on your computer. The point is that the people who create Potentially Unwanted Programs know that they're... well... potentially unwanted. Therefore they need to find a way of sneaking their program onto your PC. Their rather romantic aim is then for you to fall deeply in love with their program (because how can you NOT fall in love with a program offering you discounts?!) and carry on using it rather than immediately uninstalling it.

The majority of PUPs are bundled in with software that you do want. You know you want Program X but you just don't realize that you're getting Potentially Unwanted Program Y thrown in with it too. Because the creators of PUPs take offence to being labeled as malware many of them do make reference to their presence in the EULA. And that's why it's so important to read it and uncheck any boxes for those pesky add-on programs! If you have any questions, please leave a comment below. Good luck and be safe online!
