RoamingRate Ads

What is RoamingRate?

Developed by SuperWeb LLC, RoamingRate offers various features such as coupons and comparison shopping - supposedly to enhance the Internet browsing experience. Many users find this functionality legitimate and useful, however, be aware that Roaming Rate is categorized as adware.

This association is made due to a deceptive software marketing method called 'bundling' employed to distribute Roaming Rate.

This rogue extension installs on Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox) without users' consent, and then delivers intrusive online advertisements including banner, pop-up, transitional, search, interstitial, full-page, etc. These ads often lead to bogus websites, and consequently, your system may become infected.

Furthermore, RoamingRate continually monitors users' Internet browsing activity, collecting various information such as IP addresses, unique identifier numbers, URLs visited, pages viewed, and search queries entered. These are just some examples of data types tracked by this adware.

This collected information may include personally identifiable details, and therefore, the presence of this potentially unwanted program (PUP) on your system can result in serious privacy issues or identity theft. Roaming Rate is identical to other applications released by SuperWeb LLC including, for instance, Express Find, Primary Result, and Zoom Zoom.

This company intentionally releases identical applications under different names to avoid detection by legitimate anti-spyware and anti-virus suites.

These applications provide no significant value for the user - they simply collect personal data (which is later shared with third parties) and display intrusive ads to generate revenue. You are strongly advised to eliminate RoamingRate from your system immediately.

Most adware-type applications are distributed via small programs called 'download managers' (also called 'installers', 'download clients', etc.) on freeware download websites. These websites monetize their free services and traffic by offering installation of additional programs when downloading free software.

These promoted applications claim to be legitimate, however, they are mostly adware or malware infections. Therefore, closely inspect each step when downloading free software and ensure that no other applications are included.

Furthermore, if you are installing downloaded software, use the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' installation options - this will reveal any hidden applications listed for installation and allow you to decline them. If you have installed RoamingRate, the following instructions will help you to remove this adware from your system.
