MyCouponize is an aggressive adware infection that simultaneously installs itself in Safari, Chrome and Firefox, It hijacks the user’s search and page loads, redirecting them to multiple web sites that advertise scamware and other unwanted junk.

You can remove it easily with DetectX Swift (a free/shareware utility written by myself) as shown in this video. If you prefer reading to watching, here’s the procedure:

1. Run the search in DetectX.







2. Click on the [X] button.
You’ll find this button just above the results table to the right, between the search count and the tick (whitelist) button. It will turn red when you hover over it. When it does so, click it.
Then hit ‘Delete’ to remove all the associated items.
You’ll need to enter a password as some of the items are outside of your user folder.
Press the esc key or click the ‘Cancel’ button on any pop up dialogs that appear.

3. Go to the Profiler
Here we’ll unload the launchd processes that belong to MyCouponize.

Navigate to the user launchd processes section and move the cursor over the item com.MyMacUpdater.agent







Click the ‘Remove x’ button that appears when the line is highlighted.
Wait for the profiler to refresh and then go back to the same section and remove the second process called com.MyCouponize.agent

4. Quit the mediaDownloader.app
This item has already been deleted in step 1, but its process may still be running in memory. If its icon appears in the Dock, right click on it and choose ‘Quit’ from the menu.







4. Finally, go to Safari Preferences’ Extensions tab
Click the uninstall button to remove the MyCouponize extension.







After that, Safari should be in good working order. If you have Chrome, Firefox or possibly other browsers installed, make sure you remove the extensions or Add Ons from those, too.

DetectX and DetectX Swift are shareware and can be used without payment, so go grab yourself a copy over at sqwarq.com.
