What is Social Reviewer?

Social Reviewer is a useless adware application that you should not keep on your computer, if you do not want to be introduced to potentially unreliable web content. The presence of this adware may even surprise you because you may not remember installing it at all. If this program appears on your computer without your knowledge, you had better remove it right away. If you do not act in time, you may be exposed to unreliable websites, and that might cause harm to your operating system. Third-party ads this adware may show you while you are surfing the web can also be annoying. There is no other way to stop these ads and the potential dangers than to delete Social Reviewer as soon as possible. test test test

Where does Social Reviewer come from?

This worthless application definitely does not come from its own official website, socialreviewer.com. Why are we so sure that you did not download it from there? For the simple reason that you cannot; there is no download button. Although there is link that leads to an installation page, but still no sign of a download button. That is rather suspicious behavior and it questions the intentions of this program. On the main page you can find a list of the top ten reasons how you can get unfriended on Facebook. This is supposed to be a funny list to promote the application. Well, to be fair, it is indeed a funny list, but the function of this program still remains a mystery.

But if it is not available for download from its website, how do you think it can still end up on your machine? Freeware bundles, yes that is the answer, which you may already know. But, if you know this, you must also be aware that there are bundles that may contain a bunch of malware infections and not just legitimate free software. You need to be very careful if you install such a package not to let all the content onto your computer. You can do that by deselecting the additional tools in the installation wizard. If you miss this step, you will have to delete Social Reviewer and all the rest of the infections as well in order to secure your computer.

How does Social Reviewer work?

Our researchers have noticed that this adware application is very similar to Meteoroids, Zombie Alert, and Zombie Invasion, which we have already covered. You can find information about these infections if you type in their names in our search box at the top. Social Reviewer seems like a program without a real function as we have mentioned above. But it does work as a third-party advertiser, and it may display potentially unreliable ads from time to time. Fortunately, it is not one of those adware apps that spam your screen with pop-up ads. Yet, these ads may cause harm to your system if you happen to click on them. Since you do not know which third party can be trusted, it is best not to click on any of those ads. But at the end of the day, you are safest if you remove Social Reviewer right now.
