Yesterday I realised that I got installed in my Avast Secure Browser an extension called “coupons”, probably no more than 2 or 3 days ago. In the extensions of my browser says that it has been installed by Avast and I cannot remove it, just disable it. I didn’t get any notice or nobody asked me for my permission to install it. I don’t know if this extension really comes from Avast, or if it is a safe extension. In the description of the extension says: View the top coupons on shopping sites and have them automatically applied at checkout to help you maximize savings. The thing is that when I buy something in internet I have to put my personal details and the details of my debit card, and I don’t trust much. I don’t know even if these coupons work or maybe they are just useless. Please, does some of you know about this extension? or have installed this extension in Avast Secure Browser? Does this extension really come from Avast? Do you think that is this a virus? Is there a way to get rid of this? The only solution that I find is to disable it, that will be safe enough?
By the way, I saw 2 or 3 folders were installed in the Avast Secure Browser folder during the last 3 days.
It’s surely there but I can’t find it by search, and it’s looks like 3rd-party addons. Maybe a replacement of Avast SafePrice?
I don’t know how Avast Addons store or Avast Browsers manages their addons, but if you don’t need it just disable it.
I understand your concern, but the “Coupons” extension in Avast Secure Browser is legitimate and safe. It’s a feature designed to automatically apply the best coupons when shopping online, helping you save money. It comes from Avast, a trusted cybersecurity company, and isn’t a virus. It doesn’t access your personal or payment information—just applies discounts at checkout.
