Raving reyven Ads

What is reyven?

Created by SuperWeb LLC, Raving reyven is a rogue browser extension claiming to enhance users' Internet browsing experience by displaying website trust ratings, enabling coupons, comparison shopping, and adding other useful functionality.

While Raving reyven may seem a legitimate browser add-on, computer users should be aware that it is categorized as a potentially unwanted application or adware. Raving reyven employs a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' to install on users' Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) without a permission.

Following successful infiltration, Raving reyven generates various intrusive online advertisements including interstitial, transitional, search, text-link, banner, and full page ads.

Furthermore, this potentially unwanted application continually monitors users' Internet browsing activity by recording diverse software and hardware information including IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, and URLs visited,

Having adware such as Raving reyven installed on your PC may lead to serious privacy issues, identity theft, or malware infections. At time of research, this company (SuperWeb LLC) has released over one hundred rogue browser extensions identical to Raving reyven.

The company releases identical browser plug-ins under different names to avoid detection by legitimate anti-spyware and anti-virus programs. Neither Raving reyven, nor any other of these add-ons, delivers any real value for the user. Their main purpose is to generate income by the display of intrusive online advertisements.

Research shows that most adware is distributed via 'download managers' within freeware download websites such as softonic.com, download.com, soft32.com, and many others. These websites monetize their free services by employing download managers, which offer installation of advertised browser add-ons along with the chosen free software.

Thus, careless download and installation of freeware often leads to adware or malware infections. To prevent installation of Raving reyven, or other similar adware, closely inspect each step during the download of free software and click "Decline" when installation of additional applications is offered.

If you are installing downloaded software, select the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options, rather than 'Quick' or 'Regular' - in this way additional applications listed for stealth installation with the chosen software are revealed and you will be able to decline them.

Computer users who have already installed Raving reyven and observe "Ads by raving reyven", "Powered by raving reyven", and "raving reyven Deals" advertisements when browsing the Internet, should follow this removal guide to eliminate Raving reyven adware from their Internet browsers.
