If your web browser is randomly being redirected to the “Ads by Right Coupon” advertisements then your computer is infected with an adware program.
The “Ads by Right Coupon” adware program is bundled with other free software that you download off of the Internet. Unfortunately, some free downloads do not adequately disclose that other software will also be installed and you may find that you have installed adware without your knowledge.
Once this malicious program is installed, whenever you will browse the Internet, an ad from Ads by Right Coupon will randomly pop-up. The Right Coupon advertisements may have a different text under the pop-up: “Powered by Right Coupon“, “Brought to you by Right Coupon“, “RocketTab powered by Right Coupon“, “Ads by Right Coupon” or “Ads powered by Right Coupon“.
These ads are aimed to promote the installation of additional questionable content including web browser toolbars, optimization utilities and other products, all so the adware publisher can generate pay-per-click revenue.
When infected with the “Ads by Right Coupon” adware, other common symptoms include:
- Advertising banners are injected with the web pages that you are visiting.
- Random web page text is turned into hyperlinks.
- Browser popups appear which recommend fake updates or other software.
- Other unwanted adware programs might get installed without the user’s knowledge.
Always opt for the custom installation and deselect anything that is not familiar, especially optional software that you never wanted to download and install in the first place. It goes without saying that you should not install software that you don’t trust.

hi ive just finish steps listed on the blog but i still have tremendous deals on my computer, im not sure how its still here but it is and completely refuses to get of my computer can u help me?
Thanks for providing step by step process with screen shot. I am very much happy to see this blog. Because i faced this problem and i found your blog very useful to remove virus from my website.
Hello,
AdwCleaner is a safe program, however if you do not wish to use it, you can perform a scan with ESET Online Scanner: http://download.eset.com/special/eos/esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe the main downside is that the ESET scan can take awhile to complete…. but nevertheless is a great on-demand scanner.
Do we have to use AdwCleaner? I can’t find anything to uninstall, I’ve reset my browser TWICE, restarted my computer, used Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials and they find nothing. However, its still on my browser when I go to “manage add ons” and I can’t disable it. No adds pop up when I search for anything anymore, but I want to make sure its gone.
Thanks a lot, my sincere appreciation this was very helpful!
excellent stuff. big thanks
