If advertisements accompanied with the mention of ads by Rad Raven or Powered by Rad Raven slide into all the sites you visit, it’s because an adware of the same name has been installed on your computer. It doesn’t take much for this parasitic program to find its way onto your PC. With Rad Raven, as is often the case with adware, a lapse in attention is enough to have your hard drive infected.
Discretely placed in the installation programs of certain sites like Softonic, Sourceforge, and zdnet, adwares like Rad Raven install automatically if you do not customize installations or do not deselect the installation of these useless programs. If Rad Raven says in can “enhance website navigation” on its official page, it is a lie because it will only post ads.
Furthermore, Rad Raven will save your IP address, sites you visit, and search queries to remote databases. This information will enable them to target ads and, without a doubt, resell it to third parties.
It’s not very far off from the behavior of a virus; even uninstalling it is often difficult. The creators of the program use any means to keep this type of program active on your computer as long as possible.
