Coupons by QuickShare are annoying pop-up ads that are caused by potentially unwanted program, which is also known as adware. This program belongs to a well known developer called Linkury, which is known for such suspicious applications as Linkury Smartbar and other programs that are capable of initiating lots of questionable activities on the system. In fact, these activities are caused as soon as victim starts computer and begins browsing on the Internet. Basically, the main reason why this program is called a virus is that it is capable of infiltrating computer without an appropriate user’s permission asked. In addition, it may easily hijack all web browsers and then start initiating annoying pop-up ads during user’s search sessions. These ads are mostly filled with price comparisons, information about sales, discounts, deals and other things that can easily attract people. Nevertheless, no matter how trustworthy they look, these advertisements are filled with predetermined links that are used for redirecting people to predetermined websites.
