The main website for Rich Media View can be accessed via rich-media-view.com.

Considering the fact that Rich Media View is another version of BetterSurf and Media Buzz adware applications, we can clearly say that this application is very thorough in what it does. Rich Media View does not have its own advertising server so it makes use of a third party server to generate the content for its pop-ups. As a result, Rich Media View may display a great variety of pop-ups, ranging from Offer4u and Better Deals coupons, to donation offers for the National cancer association and iRobinHood, to various online surveys and even fake Java, Flash and media player pop-ups.
