How to remove QueenCoupon (Virus Removal Guide)
QueenCoupon virus
The QueenCoupon virus, also titled to as Queen Coupon or qqueencoupoann, is a term used to identify a potentially unwanted program (PUP) found in the adware category that installs to a Microsoft Windows computer system and attaches to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Internet Explorer as a browser helper object (BHO), add-on, and extension in order to display pop-up targeted advertisements and put a user at risk of other threats.
QueenCoupon adware serves a variety of advertisements by collecting user information, including generic banner and skyscraper advertisements, in-text, in-photo, and drop-down coupons. In most QueenCoupon ads can be recognized by text that says something similar to Ads by QueenCoupon or Ads brought by qqueencoupoann. In other cases, this program may broadcast third-party advertisements served by platforms such as Topic Torch.
Separate from unwanted advertisements, this program alongside third-party software may cause other issues by changing or corrupting existing internet browser settings in order to cause undesirable browser redirects and start-ups.
