What is CoffeeFeed?

CoffeeFeed is the name of a completely worthless application that is, in fact, an adware program. Our malware specialists at Anti-Spyware-101.com have discovered that this application is identical to other ad-supported programs, such as FlashBeat, DoReMe, and NavRight, which we have already covered on our website. Having this adware on your computer can totally destroy your net surfing experience with its third-party advertisements that may come in different forms, including in-texts, banners, and pop-ups. Not only that, but these ads may also present you with certain dangers since you can never be sure where you might end up if you click on them. Landing on harmful websites can cause severe system security issues. Therefore, we think that you had better delete CoffeeFeed from your system if you intend to keep it clean from further infections.

Where does CoffeeFeed come from?

It only makes this useless application more suspicious that you cannot find any official website that actually promotes it. But, still, somehow CoffeeFeed appears on computers. This “mystery” is made possible by a distribution method that has been frequently used by schemers to spread infections on the web – the “magical” bundling. Obviously, bundles were originally created to include useful tools, i.e., to promote third-party applications that may be beneficial to the users alongside legitimate freeware. However, tables were turned when cyber criminals started to apply this method to infect unsuspecting users’ computers. That is why it will not be enough to simply remove CoffeeFeed if you installed it from an infectious bundle; there may be a couple of more malware programs on-board that came in the same package. These can be adware applications, browser hijackers, and potentially unwanted programs. These are the most common infections that use bundling to travel.

What does CoffeeFeed do?

As a matter of fact, this adware simply does what ad-supported programs do best: It shows different types of commercial advertisements on your computer screen while you try to surf the web. These ads are not only disruptive and annoying, but they may also redirect you to malicious websites. It is possible to get scammed by criminals, for example, if you land on a false online shopping site. Let us suppose that you click on an ad that promotes a product that you have been looking for lately and it offers you an irresistible price; well, at least the ad wants you to believe that it is what you are going to get if you click on it. But, instead, you find yourself on a fake website where you willingly share your banking details to get what you have wanted for long. Can you imagine what might happen if criminals get hold of such information? If you do not want to be exposed to such dangerous situations, you should delete CoffeeFeed right away.

How can I remove CoffeeFeed?

Since every coin has two sides, of course, this adware also has at least one positive thing “up its sleeve”: It is really easy to remove CoffeeFeed. If you use our instructions below this article, you can get rid of it in no time. You just need to find its uninstaller and activate it. Please remember, that most of the time it is the user who initiates the download and installation of malware infections. If you make sure that you only visit reputable and familiar websites, you do not click on third-party ads, and you do not click on suspicious video links on your social networking profile, you can actually protect your computer from lots of different infections.
