Rolimno Ads

What is Rolimno?

Rolimno is a potentially unwanted application distributed using free software downloads. It is adware that generates in-text, pop-up, and search ads when computer users surf the Internet. Internet users often install it inadvertently without their consent together with freeware downloaded from the Internet.

Note that while this browser add-on claims to add various features (comparison shopping, multi-site searching, and website ratings and reviews), in fact, it ads little functionality and causes diminished browser performance, unwanted ads, and may lead to serious privacy issues.

Rolimno is not a virus or malware, however, it is categorized as adware or a potentially unwanted application. It installs on Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla FireFox.

A common source of unwanted browser add-ons is free software download websites, which use 'download clients' to manage freeware downloads. These download clients commonly offer installation of promoted free browser plugins together with the chosen freeware.

Note that such software marketing is deceptive and many of the aforementioned download clients use this trickery in order to encourage users into installing adware on their computers. While Rolimno is not a virus or malware, it is categorized as adware, and therefore, advisable that you eliminate this browser plug-in from your computer.

Rolimno is similar to other potentially unwanted applications promoted using free software downloads including Web Layers, BrowseFox, ZenDeals, and many others. The majority of free browser add-ons are 'bundled' with freeware, offer little added functionality, and cause various issues such as browser redirects, unwanted ads, privacy issues, etc.

To avoid installation of such adware, Internet users should be attentive when downloading free software. If you download software managed by a download client (as used by download.com, soft32.com, and other download websites), decline installation of promoted applications.

Furthermore, when installing freeware, always choose the 'Advanced' or 'Custom' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Typical' - this will allow you to opt-out of installation of promoted browser add-ons. If you observe "Rolimno Ads" or "Powered by Rolimno" advertisements on your system, use the removal guide provided to eliminate Rolimno adware from your computer.
