Remove RevContent

RevContent a tool whose alleged goal is to show content recommendations, uses publicity techniques similar to those used by many adware. Note that these ads lack any kind of quality and are clearly fake and misleading.

As a quick example, take a good look at the following screenshot where we can see content and ads recommended by RevContent, we quickly  notice at least 3 ads related to getting iPhones at ridiculous prices (1 euro). If you happen to click one of them you’ll land in a website that imitates “La Tribune” visual look.

The fraud is quite clear and their intention of cheating on people with fake content is even clearer. Actually we had already covered the 1 euro iPhone fraud last year.

By means of these malicious techniques, RevContent got around 100 million U.S. dollars in income on 2015 alone, expecting to pass even further that record in the following months. We have no doubt that they will manage to achieve this goal without any problem, all they need to do is offer a piece of the pie to ad editors and support malicious ads whom are ready to pay one or the other…

RevContent can be used to show ads coming from adware, in which case you need to clean your computer thoroughly to stop all those annoying ads.
