Where does Rad Rater come from?
Rad Rater is not a new player in the field. It comes from SuperWeb group of obnoxious adware applications. In other words, it is a new version of BrowsePro, Larparus, ProductivityPro and an extensive list of other unwanted applications. Just like its predecessors, Rad Rater has a dysfunctional homepage at radrater.mobi. The website promotes Rad Rater as a useful tool that can enhance your internet browsing experience, but there is no direct download link available.
It is clear that Rad Rater usually travels around bundled with freeware and adware. Users most probably download this application when they click fake Java, Adobe Flash or media player update links. Do not try to update your applications via third-party websites. Always download software upgrades from official homepages. If you fail to do so, you might get infected with Rad Rater and other similar applications.
What does Rad Rater do?
When Rad Rater is configured to run on the target system, it adds extensions to Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer web browsers. Newer Google Chrome versions seem to be blocking this application. Rad Rater then collects information what the websites you frequent and your online search queries. When it processes this data, it creates an online profile for you, and with this profile Rad Rater can generate commercial advertisements when you access such popular online stores like BestBuy, eBay or Amazon.
Rad Rater states that the third-party content is not a subject to its privacy policy, even though users might get exposed to unrelated content through its ads. As such, we can assume that sometimes Rad Rater ads might be embedded with potentially harmful content, and you should never click them.
How to remove Rad Rater?
If you stay away from the ads that promote third-party content, Rad Rater may prove to be just an annoying application, but even so there is no need to tolerate it. Uninstall Rad Rater immediately and then scan your computer with SpyHunter free scanner. You have to be sure that your system is completely safe, and adware programs travel in packs, so if the scanner detects any other potential threat, terminate it at once.
